CPAM 1610, popular Haitian Radio Station in Montreal set on fire
ADVERTISEMENT
CPAM 1610 is very popular in Montreal as it reaches 115,000 Haitians. It is known for its strong criticism against the government under President Martelly. CPAM 1610 director and owner Jean-Ernest Pierre was neither surprised nor unfazed by the fire incident. He said that the station is used to receiving threats due to its direct and strong commentaries. However, it was the first time that a threat has actually been done.
The incident did not stop CPAM 1610 from going on air. As a matter of fact, it resumed its operation just hours after the fire, as the station set up a temporary studio. Pierre revealed that the popular Haitian Radio Station in Montreal should return to its normal operation by Thursday. He added that there would not be any additional security and that officials will review the footage recorded by the station's surveillance cameras. The owner stressed that the station will not be prevented from analyzing the government in order to educate the people.
