Gwen Tomkins- Thank You!! You are good at heart, so you told the truth. We Ethiopians live in constant fear of persecution, torture and unlawful detention.

No body but only her teenage daughter and her old mom could ever see her. I pray that her light keeps flickering to the outside world through real journalists like your self Sincerely
Yohannes
