THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!!
On November 16, 2006, Representatives Donald Payne of New Jersey and Michael Honda of California held a historic briefing in the United States House of Representatives to expose the truth about the massive human rights violations in Ethiopia. All Ethiopians deeply appreciate the extraordinary efforts of Representatives Payne and Honda and their outstanding staff in coordinating this briefing. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to the cause of human rights and democracy in Ethiopia.
We are proud of the three members of the Inquiry Commission who risked their lives and welfare of their families to ensure the truth about the massive violations of human rights in Ethiopia. We are grateful and indebted to them for doing a thorough investigation of the facts in the massacre of peaceful demonstrators under the most difficult circumstances, for their impartial and relentless pursuit of the truth, for their resistance of extreme pressures and threats, intimidations and offer of riches to distort and color the truth and for preserving and safekeeping of evidence on crimes against humanity and for setting personal examples of supreme courage under tyranny and for their unflinching commitment to the truth come what may.
We thank members of the international human rights community for championing the cause of human rights in Ethiopia and for taking swift action to demand release of political prisoners and restoration of human rights in Ethiopia.
It is now time for us Ethiopians in America to show our gratitude and appreciation to members of the Inquiry commission and our supporters in Congress and the international human rights community by engaging in concerted and collective action to:
X Disseminate the information and facts by the commissioners
X Demand the immediate and unconditional release of all prisoners of conscience in Ethiopia;
X Seek legal means to bring to justice all individuals engaged in gross violations of human rights, including public officials and political leaders;
X Engage the international human rights community to undertake further investigation of continuing human rights violations;
X Support legislation in the United States Congress to ensure that American economic and military aid is not provided to the regime until such time as the regime observes international human rights conventions and agrees to human rights monitoring inside the country.
In signing below, I solemnly affirm that I will do my best to advance the foregoing objectives in the advancement of freedom, democracy and human rights in Ethiopia.
