It is announced that members of the Holy Synod, the highest authoritative body of the Ethiopian Ortodox Church, will lead Ethiopian protesters in front of the White House next Monday starting at 9 AM to appeal to the Bush Administration to join its European counterparts in demanding the immediate and unconditional release of the political prisoners in Ethiopia.
On Tuesday, June 26, the Church leaders and the protesters will blockade the Ethiopian embassy starting at 9 AM and demand the Meles dictatorship release the legitimate representatives of Ethiopia from jail.
Kinijit, UEDF, Tegbar and other organizations will join the Ethiopian Orthodox Church leaders in the two-day marches and protests.
