PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Hundreds of journalists wearing white shirts marched through Haiti’s capital Wednesday to demand an investigation into why a freelance photographer vanished two weeks earlier while on assignment. Vladjimir Legagneur disappeared March 14 after entering the Grand Ravine area, considered one of the poorest and most dangerous districts in Port-au-Prince. “We expect more from the justice system,” photographer Jeanty Junior Augustin said as he marched with hundreds of other journalists. Colleagues said he was always eager to learn more and had a particular interest in capturing human expressions. The U.S. government has warned people about the dangers of Grand Ravine, saying it is one of a handful of communities that has presented problems even for United Nations peacekeepers and Haiti’s police.
