Stop sending Ethiopian asylum seeking journalists to Kality: Johan Persson
Reporter Martin Schibbye and photographer Johan
Persson became world famous in 2011 when they were arrested, threatened with
death, arrested and sentenced to eleven years in prison accused of terrorism by
Ethiopian authorities.
Everything on the basis that the two Swedish
journalists on a reporting in Ethiopia had interviewed one of the parties in
contentious cases of recovery and autonomy
After 14 months and persistently Swedish diplomacy,
the two were freed and could return home to Sweden 14 September 2012. In
October, they finally receive Publicistklubbens price in Anna Politkovskaya
memory they were assigned while still imprisoned, and the same month came the
announcement that they get Ludvig Nordström Award 2013.

history, their fellow prisoner’s stories and a nation's abuse of free speech to
spread.
As Martin
Schibbye said:
"Ethiopia managed to captivate us two
journalists. But they never succeeded in silencing journalism.
