FAX Campaign on Martyrs’ Day
June 20, 2003
EHDR-UK
commemorated Martyr’s by launching a FAX campaign directed at hundreds of
government and non-government institutions by pleading with them to pay
heed to the human rights abuses that are taking place in the country. The
message that was FAXed stated that Martyrs’ Day becomes meaningless when
the government is inconsiderately trampling people’s basic rights, which
tens of thousands of martyrs fought for. The message which was written in English, Tigrinya and
Arabic carried calls with regards to freedom of press, justice to the
illegally imprisoned citizens and respite to the exploited youth. It also called for the government
security agents to stop muzzling and harassing conscientious citizens
unnecessarily. Last but not least, EHDR-UK took notice of the parents who
are deprived of the death notification of their martyred children and the
faithful who are not allowed to practise their chosen faith.
