Alemzuria Teshome...

Alemzuria Teshome is a 25 years old girl. She is the daughter of Ato Teshome,
member of the main opposition party Coalition for Democracy and Unity CUD
and a city council elect for Addis Ababa City Administration.
In November 2, 2005 security forces who came to detain her father did not
get satisfied by capturing her father. They murdered her mother W/ro
Etenesh Yimam , 52 years old housewife, for simple reason that she screamed
protesting the government forces who raided the family home to arrest her
husband .

W/ro Etenesh Yimam, is a mother of four. The children remained motherless.
The bullets that were meant for her son hit a neighbor in the stomach and
another in the arm. The police arrested W/ro Etenesh Yimam\'s son and fired
at everyone that tried to get in their way. Ato Teshome is still in prison
with the other CUD officials.

You have heared Alemzuria Teshomes interview on VOA. After that interview
government forces were compelling her to denounce the interview and to sign
a paper that says Kinjit (CUD) killed her mother as Alemzuria Teshome said.
She was also under constant harassment and intimidation and they tried to
lie ludicrous charges on her. She was not able to live her life peacefully.
Thus, Alemzuria went in to hiding a few months ago. Finally she made it to
Nairobi, Kenya.

Dear friends this is where we need your help. She is not in safe haven. We
have fear that the Weyane security agents might follow and harm her in
Nairobi. Alemzuria is currently trying to contact the UNHCR in Kenya. But
due to the high number of refugees in Kenya, she may not get the necessary
protection quickly.
