Open letter To Iseyas Afeworki from Swedish National Press Club

Nya tag i kampen för frigivning[060118]Efter den stora besvikelsen när Dawit Isaak åter fängslades återupptar nu Publicistklubben kampanjen för hans frigivning. Här är det nya stafettbrevet.Nytt stafettbrev
Stockholm, January 17, 2006
President Isayas Afworki
Asmara
Our colleague and compatriot Dawit Isaak has now been imprisoned in Asmara since September 2001. The relief and joy we felt when he was released in November, have since been replaced by our deepest concern about his fate after he was jailed again, without charge or trial.This is to inform you that Publicistklubben (The Swedish National Press Club) will continue to urge you to order the immediate release of Dawit Isaak.We appeal to you to do so for humanitarian reasons. Dawit Isaak´s health is precarious, and we urge you to let him go to Sweden to join his family and to receive medical treatment. Such a decision on your part would eliminate the most harmful issue in the Swedish-Eritrean relations and would remove the most difficult obstacle for a positive development of these relations.
Sincerely
Stig Fredrikson
President of Publicistklubben
