I have been spending my nights reading the messages you leave here and they confirm that we are fighting for the right things. The silence from the ministry is deafening but we are currently preparing a formal delivery of your names to push them into the light.

Johan and Martin are still sitting in that cell while we wait for justice. We are nearing a thousand names now so please send this link to everyone you know to keep this momentum going until the government finally listens.

they were just trying to report on what is really happening. so unfair.
Free them now! They are just doing their jobs. Journalists should never be locked up for reporting the truth.
This is totally unacceptable. Ethiopia needs to stop this and our government needs to step up and actually do something for once.
Bring them home. My heart just breaks for their families.
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS NOT A CRIME. Get them out of there Carl Bildt!
