Stockholm welcomes its 8th guest writer
Stockholm City of Refuge announced on November 15th, international day of imprisoned writers, that their 8th guest writer was Mr. Mezgebu Hailu Habtewold. As a journalist he wrote for the independent newspaper Addis Neger, both for the printed version (before it was closed down) and for the online edition (now blocked for the Ethiopian public by the government).
In a press release from Madeleine Sjöstedt, Vice Mayor of Culture and Real Estate Division of Stockholm, says that freedom of expression is a threat to totalitarianism and that it is therefore extremely important that there are safe havens where writers and journalists can quickly go to when persecuted and threatened.
