Haitian journalist shot dead in slum after photographing gang members

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) _ A Haitian photojournalist was shot to death at his home in a violent slum days after he photographed gang members, a U.N. official said Wednesday.
Jean-Remy Badio, a freelancer, was slain last Friday in the southern Port-au-Prince slum of Martissant, said Fred Blaise, a U.N. police spokesman. Blaise said gang members were suspected in the shooting but no arrests have been made.

International press freedom group Reporters Without Borders said Badio apparently was killed by gang members he had photographed days earlier.
It said Badio's family had reported receiving threats before his killing. «Badio's tragic death is a harsh blow for the Haitian media, for whom conditions seemed to have improved during the past year,» the Paris-based group said in a statement.
Rival street gangs have been battling for months in Martissant, among the Caribbean nation's most violent neighborhoods. Gang members rarely allow themselves to be photographed out of fear of being identified by police.
Prime Minister Jacques Edouard Alexis said Tuesday the government had authorized U.N. peacekeepers to increase patrols in Martissant to clear out the gangs.
