Assassinat de Jean Dominique: SOS Journalistes appelle le gouvernement Argentin à fournir une protection spéciale au suspect détenu/ Assassination of Jean Dominique: SOS Journalistes calls on Argentine government to provide special protection to detained suspect
Assassination of Jean Dominique: SOS Journalistes calls on Argentine government to provide special protection to detained suspect
Several key witnesses and co-accused have already been eliminated
May 3, 2014
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti --SOS Journalites commends the Argentine government and the security forces in that country who have cooperated with Haitian authorities to arrest and detain Markington Philippe, charged in the murder, on April 3, 2000, of famous Haitian journalist and political commentator, Jean Leopold Dominique.
However, SOS Journalistes would like to draw the attention of the Argentine Government on the need to provide very special protection to the detained suspect to avoid that he be killed as other key witnesses and co-accused of the murder of Jean Dominique.
"We are very worried about the safety of Markington Philippe who is an extremely important element in the investigation into the assassination of Jean Dominique, as several other witnesses and alleged perpetrators of the crime have been eliminated, with the obvious purpose of avoiding overwhelming testimonies and to clear clues and evidence," said Secretary General of SOS Journalistes, Guyler C. Delva.
"Therefore, we call on the Argentine government to ensure that those who visit Markington Philippe or those who feed him are subject to strict control by relevant clearance entities to avoid that he be assassinated by those who would not want him to speak," insisted Delva.
Markington Philippe, who seems to hold detailed information on the murder of the journalist, was detained at the National Penitentiary in Port-au-Prince, as ordered by investigating authorities. He had managed to escape from prison during a mass breakout which had occurred at the penitentiary, following the political events of February 2004, which led to the departure of President Jean- Bertrand Aristide.
Markington Philippe, jailed in 2001, was first heard at the judge's office as a witness. However, the judge then decided to issue a committal order against him, because of the thorough information that he was providing and which suggested that he could have been on the scene of the crime or among perpetrators.
Several credible sources told SOS Journalistes that Philippe came back to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, but he happened to travel back to Argentina undeterred.
SOS Journalistes also congratulates investigating Judge Yvickel Dabrésil, the Central Director of the Judicial Police ( DCPJ ), Inspector General Normil Rameau and his team who have done such an effective and valuable work to facilitate the arrest and detention of Markington Philippe.
"We urge the Haitian government to relay our concerns with Argentine authorities to ensure that all steps are taken to establish a real safety device around Markington Philippe to protect him in his cell while awaiting extradition to Haiti, "concluded Delva.

Assassinat de Jean Dominique: SOS Journalistes appelle le gouvernement Argentin à fournir une protection spéciale au suspect détenu
Plusieurs témoins clés et co-auteurs présumés ont déjà été éliminés
3 mai, 2014
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- SOS Journalistes félicite le gouvernement Argentin et les forces de sécurité de ce pays, qui ont coopéré avec les autorités haïtiennes pour procéder à l'arrestation et la détention de Markington Philippe, inculpé dans l'assassinat, le 3 avril 2000, du célèbre journaliste et commentateur politique Haïtien, Jean Léopold Dominique.
Cependant, SOS Journalistes aimerait attirer l'attention du gouvernement Argentin sur la nécessité de fournir une protection très spéciale au suspect détenu pour éviter qu'il ne soit tué comme d'autres témoins clés et co-auteurs présumés de l'assassinat de Jean Dominique.
"Nous sommes très inquiets quant à la sécurité de Markington Philippe qui constitue un élément extrêmement important pour l'enquête sur l'assassinat de Jean Dominique, étant donné que plusieurs autres témoins et présumés auteurs matériels de ce crime ont été éliminés, dans le but évident d'éviter des témoignages accablants et d'effacer les indices et les preuves," a déclaré le Secrétaire général de SOS Journalistes, Guyler C. Delva.
"De ce fait, nous demandons au gouvernement Argentin de faire en sorte que ceux qui visitent Markington Philippe ou ceux qui le nourrissent fassent l'objet d'un contrôle strict de la part des entités de screening compétentes pour éviter qu'il ne soit assassiné par ceux qui n'aimeraient pas qu'il parle," a insisté Delva.
Markington Philippe, qui semble détenir des informations détaillées sur l'assassinat du journaliste, avait été détenu au pénitencier national sur ordre du Cabinet d'instruction. Il était parvenu à s'enfuir, à la faveur d'une évasion massive enregistrée au pénitencier à la suite des évènements politiques de février 2004, ayant abouti au départ du pouvoir du Président Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Markington Philippe, incarcéré en 2001, a été d'abord entendu au cabinet d'instruction en tant que témoin. Cependant, le juge d'instruction d'alors avait décidé d'émettre un mandat de dépôt à son encontre, en raison des informations minutieuses qu'il fournissait et qui laissaient entendre qu'il pouvait avoir été sur les lieux du crime ou au nombre des exécutants.
SOS Journalistes a appris de sources crédibles que Philippe était rentré en Haïti, à la suite du tremblement terre, en 2010, mais il avait pu repartir pour l'Argentine sans être inquiété.
SOS Journalistes félicite également le Directeur Central de la Police Judiciaire (DCPJ), l'Inspecteur Général Normil Rameau et son équipe qui ont fait un travail très efficace et appréciable pour faciliter l'arrestation et la détention de Markington Philippe.
"Nous demandons donc au gouvernement Haïtien de relayer nos inquiétudes auprès des autorités D'Argentine afin que toutes les mesures soient prises pour mettre en place un véritable dispositif de sécurité autour de Markington Philippe en vue de le protéger dans sa cellule, en attendant son extradition vers Haiti," a conclu Delva.
L'ancien président Jean Bertrand Aristide aurait ordonné l'assassinat de Jean Dominique

WHEREAS the suspect identified as mastermind of the crime is living in the United States and never went back to Haiti to answer questions, despite repeated invitations by the investigating judge, citing immigration problems
