Two Swedish journalists sentenced to prison in Ethiopia on terrorism charges have decided to seek clemency rather than file an appeal. Ethiopia's federal high court is currently hearing three other terrorism trials involving journalists and opposition politicians



Kjell Persson (R) and Christina Persson (C), parents of Swedish photographer Johan Persson and Swedish ambassador to Ethiopia Jens Odlander (R), stand outside the courtroom in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, December 21, 2011.

hgdefawyan are delusional. we have countless Eritrean hero fighters, politicians, journalists that are jailed WITH NO JUDICIAL PROCESS FOR OVER A DECADE and yet they talk about another country's legal process in dealing with yet another country's citizens.

shame. shame. shame.

when are you going to stand up for your own brothers and sisters who spent their youthful years in the bushes to liberate you?

hope countless journalist will be pardoned along with your masters Journalist. for your record the woyaannie spies in Eritrea will be rotten inside cell and that is a norm in every country. that is what we do when individual like the so called fake journalist and sell out bandas in Eritrea. now go and eat your heart that Eritrea have never imprisoned the real journalist or political prisoner inside Eritrea like your minority junta but spies for minority regime in Ethiopia those infiltrated and busted in Eritrea during pick war time against the apartheid style junta in Ethiopia. if those sell out bandas had never been busted the woyannies pupate would run Eritrea by now. Thank God. if i were the leader of Eritrea ...i would roasted those bastard woyannies spies.

spies in Eritrea will be rotten inside cell and that is a norm in every country. that is what we do

you have no EVIDENCE they are spies. the words coming out of hgdef rulers are not EVIDENCE.

Eritrea find out with two method.

1-from the inside of your high authority minority government in Ethiopia (money make miracle)

2- since they were low class spies Eritrea took no time to make them to confess

I asked for EVIDENCE, I didn't ask you to echo words coming out of hgdef rulers because I heard them too. what I didn't hear is the other side. Why do you oppose hearing the other side?

are you kidding me ...what evidence do you require to release the Gantanamo prisoner ? as we all heard that they were the threat to the national security of the nation, U.S.. and now they are going to rotten in prison plus torturer day and night. but if i were the head of Eritrea i wouldn't put those sell out bandas and spies inside beautiful Villa to enjoy the rest of their life with Eritrean hard earn resources. i believe the leader of Eritrea is so generous towards this bastards, selfish and greedy sell out bandas and spies.

we are talking about half of top shaebia leadership thrown to jail. we are talking about 28 journalist (more than all African nations put together). no Eritrean can own or run newspaper, write book nor distribute. no Eritrean can give interview to any media inside or outside. so how will you know if hgdef rulers are not telling you the truth? hgdef has blocked others' views from reaching you. why do you support hgdef to block information from reaching you?

there are many books in America that talk about the abuses that go on in America and how people nothing to do with terrorism are jailed and tortured. can you imagine someone writing books in Eritrea about the innocence of those jailed? no! so how will you know if they are really innocents? WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO NOT HEAR THE STORY OF THE OTHER SIDE? just like we hear the otherside of the story in America, we should in Eritrea, too. why do you oppose that?

Eden,

Good Try.kkkk

But the question is, when will Legesse " The Midget " Zenawi will give his now famous " Pardon" ? kkkkkk

Your diatribe about shabiya this shabiya that wont hide the fact that Legese will free these journalists.

The decision to try for a pardon "does not mean any change in our view that they were there working as journalists and that they should be released as soon as possible," Kent Oberg, spokesman for the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told CNN.
