Ethiopian educator, journalist and human rights activist Reeyot Alemu, who is now serving a five year sentence in Kaliti Prison in Addis Abeba, has entered her fifth day of hunger strike. Reeyot started the strike opposing abuses in prison and specially after prison officials delimited the number of people she can be visited by.
Reeyot’s younger sister, Eskedar Alemu, stated on her Facebook today that Reeyot has told her mother that if others (her sisters, fiance and her other visitors) are not allowed to visit her, she prefers not to even be visited by her own parents who at the moment are the only people the Prison officials allow her to be see. Eskedar also stated that she was told by the Prison officials that they can not talk with them before Tuesday.
