"20 years in prison and no one talks about him"

Since then and for the past 20 years, Dawit Isaak has been imprisoned in Eritrea without ever being tried for any crime. He is held in atrocious conditions at an undisclosed location. Together with his colleagues who were arrested at the same time he is now the longest imprisoned journalist in the world.


On this very date RSF requests that the Prosecution Authority of Sweden meets its international responsibility and open a preliminary investigation for crimes against humanity in Dawit Isaak’s case. We turn today to Prosecutor-General Petra Lundh to reverse prior decisions not to investigate this case.
