We want the whole world to wake up to the fact that the court system in
Ethiopia is only a front for a judiciary that carries out the political will and
objectives of one of the Bloodiest Dictators on earth since Pol Pot of Cambodia.
The blind miscarriage of justice, will only be matched by what awaits these
political prisoners in side the dirtiest, urine- filled, fleas- infested holding
pens, where over 400 inmates are kept in each cell. Not only that, the prison
guards are armed with sticks and are continuously beating and terrorizing
these innocent prisoners. The beatings by these Tigrean guards are not
limited to the prisoners only. The families and friends of the inmates are
unfortunate receivers of these weapons of terror when they come to visit.
All Ethiopians must make note of the fact that one ETHNIC group, the
Tigreans, from the top dictator, Melese Zenawi, down to the prison guards,
have a grip hold on the country and are terrorizing Ethiopians. The words
“humane, sympathy, justice and fairness” are too foreign to these evil men.
Soon Ethiopia will lose its Christianity, its identity and its history. This
is not an empty talk. It is a serious matter, and is taking place right now.
One of those sentenced to three years is Ms. Hirut Kifle, who was arrested
while walking on the streets of Addis. Hirut had the good fortune of
meeting with three representatives of the American, Canadian Embassies,
and a member of a UN Human Rights Watch about three months ago. She
was able to describe to the group the horrible condition she was treated by
Meles’s Tigrean guards when she was first incarcerated two years earlier.
We cannot publish her description here.
