Re: Eritrea: RSF Urges Swedish Judicial Authorities to Reverse Dawit Isaak Decision
...Dawit Isaak was imprisoned in Eritrea when the regime in Asmara decided to ban all independent newspapers and started rounding up journalists in September 2001.
Dawit Isaak and his colleagues are now the longest detained journalists in the world. His case has been brought to the Swedish Prosecution Authority by his brother, Reporters without borders (RSF), his Swedish legal team and 12 prominent international human rights lawyers. The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and lawyer Shirin Ebadi signed the complaint. Navi Pillay, former UN High Commissioner on Human Rights, Canada's earlier Justice Minister Irwin Cotler and the former chair of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights Pansy Tlakula are also behind the complaint.
