Aren’t 25 years enough?
Be Dawit Isaak’s voice & urge the EU & Sweden to take action. You just have to hit send: raoulwallenbergcentre.org/en…
For Dawit, words were not enough to bring him home.
What is missing is the political will to achieve results. Results that will see Dawit embrace his children, who have since become adults.
Neither Sweden nor the EU has taken the action needed to bring this man home.
Urge the EU & Sweden to take action now.

EEPA’s public statement on the US lifting sanctions on Eritrea.
"EEPA unequivocally opposes and is profoundly concerned by the United States’ decision to lift targeted sanctions on Eritrea, which were imposed by the US administration in 2021."

Det känns som att ha träffat en syster, tyckte både Betlehem Isaak & Abie Sium.Deras pappor, journalisten #DawitIsaak & fotografen Seyoum Tsehaye fängslades f 25 år sen av regimen i #Eritrea Nu möttes de ffg på @bokmassanGbg @onedayseyoum @journalistforb svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vast/t…
Två döttrar, samma lidande och samma kamp. Båda deras pappor greps av den eritreanska regimen 2001. Dawit Isaak dramatiker och journalist Seyoum Tsehaye, filmare, fotograf och fd TV-chef. Det är brutalt både mot dem och mot deras döttrar. dn.se/kultur/dottrarna-om-ka…

📰 Le 23 septembre marque le 25e anniversaire de la disparition forcée et de la détention arbitraire du journaliste suédo-érythréen #DawitIsaak par les autorités érythréennes.
Arrêté aux côtés de plusieurs confrères journalistes en septembre 2001, M. Isaak et ses collègues sont aujourd’hui les journalistes détenus depuis le plus longtemps au monde.
Le CRWDP, accompagné d’une vaste coalition internationale d’organisations de défense des droits humains, exhorte les autorités 🇸🇪 suédoises et de 🇪🇺 l’Union européenne à prendre des mesures concrètes dans son dossier tant qu’il est encore temps.

Eritreas Herrscher Isayas Afewerki schikaniert seit 30 Jahren sein Volk und heizt Kriege in Ostafrika an. Geld dafür kommt auch aus Deutschland.
Diaspora-Steuer von 2 % Eine der am wenigsten beachteten Diktaturen der Welt. #EBRF #RegimeChangeInEritrea

Sweden & the EU cannot allow Eritrea to continue its evasions about #DawitIsaak's fate
En dotters hopp efter 25 år: "Jag hoppas fortfarande att få återse honom. Att få prata med honom. Att få höra hans röst igen. Att få se honom skriva med den där pennan som alltid följde honom." Danait Isaak om #DawitIsaak olagligt fängslad i #Eritrea

Medhanie is one of the Eritrean journalists who are imprisoned in 2001 and still we know nothing about his whereabouts and whether he is alive or not...

Eritrea’s real journalists languish in prison: year after year. These are fakes. Puppets of the regime
The Unsung Heroes Behind the Lens! 📸🇪🇷
Meet the dedicated media team covering the Ministry of Defense sports competitions @shabait.
From grassroots to elite levels, these professionals are the right hand of Eritrea’s Ministry of Information.
They work tirelessly to bring every moment of the action to the public, playing a vital role in the growth of Eritrean sports. Honor and respect where it is due!
Wishing these brothers long life and health.

The case of Dawit Isaak stands as one of the clearest symbols of Eritrea’s brutal assault on freedom of expression.
Detained for years without charge or trial, cut off from his family and the world, this is a grave and unforgivable violation of the rule of law and human dignity.
Such cruelty tears families apart and reveals a totalitarian system that survives by silencing truth and punishing those who speak it.
#DawitIsaak must be released. Eritrea’s repression and attacks on free expression must never be normalized or forgotten.
