Even those that have been backers of PM Meles Zenawi have to be concerned about the legitimacy of the upcoming 2010 elections in Ethiopia. With Ethiopian judge and democratically elected opposition leader Birtukan Mideksa in jail on trumped-up political charges (eg. not willing to "apologize"...), the elections seemed doomed before they even begin. I call on Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to demand the release of Ethiopian opposition party (United Front for Democracy and Justice), leader Birtukan Mideksa and other political prisoners currently being held in Ethiopia.
