Arsi, Ethiopia: Allegations of Mass Atrocities Against Orthodox Christians Demand Immediate International Action
To: Members of the United States Congress; the U.S. Department of State; the European Union and European Parliament; the United Nations; Amnesty International; Human Rights Watch; the International Society for Human Rights; the World Council of Churches; the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; and all international human rights and religious freedom organizations.
Subject: Arsi, Ethiopia: Urgent Call to Investigate Alleged Mass Killings, Religious Persecution, and Ethnic Cleansing of Orthodox Christians
Dear Members of the International Community, Distinguished Members of the United States Congress, Human Rights Advocates, and Leaders of the World’s Churches,
I write with profound anguish and an urgent plea for action on behalf of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians in Arsi, Ethiopia, whose lives, religious freedom, and very existence are reportedly under grave threat. We appeal to you not merely as observers of a distant conflict, but as defenders of human dignity, religious freedom, and the fundamental right of every human being to live without fear of persecution or death because of their faith.
How many innocent lives must be lost before the international community acts? How many churches must burn, how many families must be destroyed, and how many children must witness the murder of their loved ones before the world refuses to remain silent?
