Dear Sir/Madam

I have been aware of something that I will like to bring to your kind attention.

The PFDJ has started a new tactic to threaten activists.  Through one of YPFDJ leaders, it has accused a justice-seeking activist in a court of law. An ex-YPFDJ leader of the Holland branch, Ato Meseret Bahlibi, charges the activist of defamation of character.  The court hearing is coming Wednesday, January 27, 2016 in Amsterdam. The accused justice-seeding activist Professor Mirjam van Reisen.

What Ato Meseret is accusing Prof. Mirjam of is that during an interview she gave to a local radio programme, she said to the effect that YPFDJ is an intellignce arm of the Eritrean dictatorship.  ATo Meseret insists that he or YPFDJ are not an intelligence gathering instrument of the Eritrean regime, but only a cultural youth association.

The Isaias regime, leaves no stones unturned, in order to attack and harass the opposition. Many have shown their solidarity by providing useful evidence to her case. All justice seeking people stand by her and declare their solidarity with her – because her case is our case.  You won’t walk alone! Mirjam.
