Sign the petition to release four Christian pastors in Eritrea and demand justice.
For more than 20 years, four courageous Christian pastors have been unjustly detained in Eritrea without charges. Their crime? Practicing their faith and serving their communities. We invite you to join us in calling for their immediate release.
Who Are They?
- Pastor Haile Naizghe: A former senior accountant with World Vision who dedicated his life to spiritual care.
- Dr. Kiflu Gebremeskel: A mathematics lecturer with a Ph.D. from the United States, committed to education and faith.
- Pastor Meron Gebreselasie: An anesthetist who provided critical medical care to his neighbors.
- Pastor Kidane Weldou: A secondary school biology teacher who inspired many through his teaching and leadership.
These men were arrested in the early 2000s for their leadership in local churches. Instead of fostering their invaluable contributions to Eritrean society, they remain imprisoned under appalling conditions. Reports indicate that Pastor Kidane is suffering from severe eye problems, while Pastor Gebremeskel battles stress-related hypertension and diabetes due to the inhumane living conditions.
Why Your Voice Matters
Religious freedom is a fundamental human right. The Eritrean government's actions stand in stark violation of this principle. By signing this petition, you can:
- Demand accountability from the Eritrean government.
- Stand against religious persecution and sectarian prejudice.
- Advocate for justice and human dignity.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
The release of these pastors would signal to the world that Eritrea is committed to upholding the rule of law and promoting religious freedom for its 3.75 million citizens. Every signature counts. Together, we can amplify the call for justice and freedom.
Join the global movement to free Pastor Haile Naizghe, Dr. Kiflu Gebremeskel, Pastor Meron Gebreselie, and Pastor Kidane Weldou. Sign the petition today.
