500 Days
Around the world, journalists are imprisoned for daring to criticize their governments. Often, they face drawn-out legal proceedings and indefinite sentences.
Days become months, and months become years. The injustice they endure creates a hostile climate for anyone who dares to speak truth to power.
500 days ago, the Ethiopian government arrested Befeqadu Hailu, Natnael Feleke, Atnaf Berahane and Abel Wabela. They remain imprisoned, with no end in sight to their ordeal.
The struggle for a free and open press continues.
