Haitian media professionals vow to support anti-kidnapping campaign

Journalists and other media professionals yesterday vowed to actively support an anti-kidnapping campaign in Haiti.

They made the pledge after several journalists took to the streets over the weekend to demand the release of Pierre Louis Opont, the co-owner of the television station, Tele Pluriel, who was kidnapped on June 20.

He has been kept hostage since then, despite numerous calls for his release.

Haitian journalists and media owners say they will soon launch an active campaign against kidnapping and widespread unpunished criminality, plaguing the country.
