Serkalem Fasil was co-publisher of Asqual, Menilik and Satenaw newspapers and was arrested together with her partner who was co-publisher of Satenaw. They have been charged with treason, outrages against the constitution and incitement to armed conspiracy. Amnesty International believes that Serkalem Fasil is a prisoner of conscience, detained on account of her opinions and for exercising her legitimate professional activity as a journalist and publisher.
