Helping the family of Yassin Juma

The funds raised from this campaign will go to the family of Yassin Juma, a kenyan journalist who was arrested and detained while working in Ethiopia with no apparent charges. Yassin has contracted COVID19 whilst illegally held in prison for more than 47 days now. In a hand written letter, Yassin expressed the agony he is going through in the Ethiopian prison and his inability to continue supporting his family. '' It is my 47th day in detention at Aradar detention Cell. It is also my 7th day since I was diagnosed with Covid-19. I am currently being held at block (W) with 68 other Covid-19 positive inmates with no access to medication in overcrowded cells, no running water and no diet to assist us with our condition.'' Yassin indicated in his letter. As he was the bread winner for his children and a grandson, Yassin pleaded to be free so that he can continue to do so. We have no control over the Ethiopian judicial system, however we can be a lending hand to his family who needs the basics. Currently they have no funds to support their day to day survival including but not limited to food and shelter. It is upon us to step in and help with all our might. We call upon his friends globally to chip in with whatever they can to urgently provide for his family. As we fundraise please keep the #FreeYassinJuma campaign going as well. Remember every $ counts and will at least give him some peace of mind knowing that his family is being looked after. Let us be the friends in need!
