A teenage girl in a school uniform was kidnapped in broad daylight, right here in Addis, by 4 men in a taxi that she boarded to get home from school. She was gang raped for 5 days and left on a dark street corner to die. She lived long enough to tell the police and her devastated family about her ordeal. Her assassins were arrested, she identified them but she succumbed to her horrible injuries. Hannah died at age 16!!

We are signing this petition to demand justice for Hanna. Her killers deserve no less than the maximum sentence, the death penalty. All sexual crimes should be punished by stronger penalties than what we have now in our Criminal Code. Hannah's case should be covered by media to start a national campaign to end VAW in Ethiopia. Enough is enough!

JUSTICE FOR HANNA!!!

Heartbroken for this sweet girl. We need to protect our daughters because this is happening way to often in our city. Those men belong in jail for life if not worse.

It is high time for Ethiopia to move from elimination of violence against women to gender equality. We cannot be proactive in development while evil prevails.

Time to stand up for our sisters whose voices are not heard.
