Protesters rough up a motorcycle driver trying to drive through their roadblock during a second, two-day strike over the cost of fuel in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Monday, Feb. 9, 2015. The motorcyclist fled, leaving his bike with the protesters, but recovered it shortly after when protesters called him over to take it. Unions representing drivers and opposition political parties say the government's cuts to the regulated cost of diesel and gasoline do not go far enough given the drop in global oil prices. Gas costs just over $4 a gallon, and diesel $3.30 a gallon. (AP Photo/Dieu Nalio Chery)
