Following the political assassination of the Oromo artist Hacaaluu Hundeessaa on June 29, 2020, the Ethiopian regime unlawfully imprisoned prominent Oromo political leaders, including Jawar Mohammed, Bekele Gerba, Colonel Gemmechu Ayana, Abdi Regasa, Micheal Boren, Gemmechu Kenasa , Dejene Tafa, Hamza Borena, Shamsuddin Xaahaa and many others - on a politically motivated trumped-up bogus charges.  The Oromo political prisoners have been on hunger strike since January 28, 2021 to protest the wholesale violation of their fundamental rights, including the right to the presumption of innocence, the worsening of political condition for the Oromo people and the derailement of the promissed transition to democracy. 

The health of these political prisoners on hunger strike has been deteriorating fast over the last two weeks. Recent reports confirm the health condition of  six political prisoners on hunger strikehas  rapidly detoriarated and they were transferred to hospitals for medical treatment. Medical professionals monitoring the health condition of prisoners on hunger strike confirmed that the health condition of prominent leaders such as Jawar Mohammed and Bekele Gerba has got to a critical stage where these leaders are facing realistic risks of Kidney failure and cardiac arrest respectively. 

Unfortunately, the health condition of our leaders is expected to rapidly deteriorate further in the next few days with a likelihood of prolonged hospitalization and costly treatment regime over an extended period of time to try to reverse the damages caused by their starvation for justice.

The funds will be used to cover medical and other costs needed to assist these leaders who are unlawfully imprisoned so that they receive proper medical attention.

The funds will cover: 
- Logistics
- prescriptions and other medicine
-Labs
- other fees

There’s an established committee in charge of the dispersing the funds. The committee is comprised of reputable community members, family and friends of the political detainees. The committee will ensure that the funds will be dispersed properly with proper checks and balances.

We call up on the Oromo public and friends of Oromo to help pay for the medical treatment of our political leaders who are illegally imprisoned by the Ethiopian government for no fault of their own other than resisting tyranny through a non-violent method of resistance against this regime's brutalities.

Let's stand for justice by saving the lives of these leaders who have been starving themselves to seek justice for our people.

Thank you in Advance
