A Protestant pastor, Leul Gebreab, aged 35, and 10 churchgoers from another church, are being held incommunicado. They are at risk of torture or other ill-treatment. Amnesty International believes that they are prisoners of conscience, detained solely for the peaceful exercise of their religious beliefs.
