Journalists in Jeopardy

The Committee to Protect Journalists and the the Americas Watch mission to Haiti from August 12-15,1984 to investigate a recent crackdown on the press. This 12-page documents the ways in which, in both law and practice, Haitian journalists are routinelly prohibited from criticizing their country's "institutions."
