WALK FOR FREEDOM

New York to DC

 

Initiated and Organized By ASPER-Italy



In Coordination with Eritrean Anti Tyranny Global Solidarity  

 

 

On Foot From New York To Washington DC

An Appeal to the UN & the USA

On behalf of Eritrean Prisoners of Conscience

 

 

Whereas Eritrean prisoners of conscience have been languishing in jails for years without charges and denied of visitation rights;

Whereas conscious Eritreans and friends of Eritrean are committed to publicize the plight of the prisoners of conscience;


Whereas, the marchers want to appeal to the UN to set an International Commission to investigate the conditions of Eritreans prisoners of conscience.


Whereas the marchers want to appeal to USA congress to take punitive measure against the government that has been imprisoning dissenters, journalists and others for many years.

 

On Friday, August 18, 2006, a group of Eritreans under the leadership of Samuel, Tekle and Dania will present a letter of appeal to the UN secretary general, Mr. Kofi Anan at the UN Headquarters. Upon delivering the letter, the Marchers will head for the Liberty Statue from which they will start the 265 mile trip on foot to Washington , DC .

 

So far, some Eritreans and friends of Eritrea have decided to join the marchers others have shown interest in joining. Names of those who want to join is listed below (will be updated regularly).

 

The journey is divided into several stations. Those who cannot march the whole distance can join part of the march that are suitable to them. Interested individuals should e-mail their intention to join the march indicating their joining stations so that the march can be coordinated.

 

The route of the March and timetable can change slightly if need for that arise. At the moment, the schedule and the route is planned as follows:

FUNDRAISING

Dear sirs,

The March for Freedom is all about the respect of justice. We understand that committing to such an arduous journey  on foot is not an easy commitment. However, considering the fact that justice is invaluable, considering the fact that those on whose behalf the March is organized, those who are languishing in jails in Eritrea without charges and without due process, the March is the least we can do. 

We urge those who can to join the march, and those who can't to participate in this honorable project with whatever they can. To give you an idea, you can do one of the following things:

1- Write to your local Newspapers and other media outlets informing them of the event.
2- Write about the event on discussion forums and clubs that you are a member of.
3- If the group is marching through your city, make sure to receive them and see them to the confines of your city.
4- Volunteer to host them in your houses when they march through your city, and
5- Promote the project by discussing it and writing about it on Eritrean websites and discussion forums.

One more thing you can do,

The project is being totally financed with individual resources; and those resources are not in deep pockets. Tesfa Delina (asmarino.com) has been assigned to collect funds for the project. In a day or two, we will post a fundraising link for accepting contributions. Though any amount is good amount, and you are urged to send whatever amount you can afford, please be generous. 

Thank you in advance
the organizers

Nation In Jail

This list of prisoners in PFDJ jails was compiled by farajat.com from different sources. The list is not a complete list and does not contain all the names of prisoners in the  PFDJ jails. It also does not include names of many citizens who simply disappeared after they were picked by plainclothes PFDJ security officials. 

Since there is no court system in Eritrea, it is not possible to get the names of imprisoned citizens; the PFDJ rules by regime Fiat and runs the country as a military camp. The PFDJ, which is not accountable to anyone, doesn't consider Eritreans worthy enough to enjoy civil liberties. 

While browsing the list, please note that the PFDJ sometimes jails and frees people whimsically without stating the reason for arrest or the reason for release imprisoned citizens. Though the PFDJ has added more people to its prison population since the list was last updated, it is possible that a few might have been released. We urge you to take this list as an indication of the grave situation in which Eritreans find themselves.
