Prison police "Gimigema"
Letters were smuggled out; Prison security informations were widely leaked and so on... EPRDF officials are angry at prison police men. For three days this week, the police men were under "Gimigema". Obviously, they were blamed for leaking infos , smuggling out letters and facilitating the transfer of messages of the CUDP prisoners for their supporters outside. Last weekend only three police men reported that the political prisoners were planning a hunger strike eventhough it was known by most police men. On the "gimigema", even the most loyal police me were told that they weren't seriously carrying their function of watching the CUDP leaders.
I was informed by prison source that Birhanu Nega is getting amazing popularity among the security men there. "Birhanu doesn't blame the security guys there. Instead, he always tells them that he and other prisoners were there for the sake of freedom to all Ethiopians including them and they love that," my source said.
