The Bishops reminded the world of the need to protect the “human dignity and lives” of Ethiopians abroad.
A human life cannot be reduced to:
migration status
poverty
desperation
or a court sentence
Every life has value.

Mercy does not weaken justice.
Mercy protects our shared humanity.
The executions must be halted before more lives are lost.

➡️ Suspend executions immediately

One detainee reportedly said:
“Last week, three of our friends were killed… maybe tomorrow they can kill me.”
Behind every number is a human life, a family, and a community living in fear.

"Abiy Ahmed promised prosperity, but under his leadership, Ethiopia is in freefall. Civil war, ethnic cleansing, economic collapse—young people can’t find jobs, families are fleeing. This is not prosperity; it’s genocide. #AbiyMustGo#TigrayGenocide."
According to Human Rights Watch, detainees reportedly had:
❌ No lawyers
❌ No translators
❌ Forced confessions
❌ No meaningful appeals
This is not justice. It is a human rights emergency.
