 FAX  CAMPAIGN

Martyrs’ Day FAX Campaign

 

EHDR-UK run a FAX campaign in remembrance of Eritrean Martyrs.  Members of our

organisation collected FAXed copies of this letter to government officials inside and

outside the country,  institutions and human rights agencies throughout the world. 

 

Celebrating Martyr’s Day becomes meaningless when basic rights, which our

martyrs fought for, are inconsiderately trampled.  Hence, there is no dignity

when the government celebrates Martyr’s Day while: :

 

·         Prisoners are thrown in jail without charge.

·         Citizens are denied their constitutional rights.

·         Parents are deprived of the death notification of their martyred children.

·         The youth are continuously tied up in a campaign comparable to slavery.

·         The faithful are not allowed to practise their chosen faith.

·         The security forces constantly intimidate conscientious citizens.

·          Freedom of press is non-existent.
