Free Nazarawit Abera from unjust imprisonment in China

The Issue

Nazarawit Abera, a young Ethiopian woman and a graduate in engineering, has dedicated her life to contributing positively to her country. Sadly, she now finds herself imprisoned in China, facing the death penalty due to a conspiracy that led to her arrest for cocaine possession. The evidence suggests that Nazarawit's incarceration stems from a betrayal by someone she considered a friend, making her a victim of a grave injustice.

Nazarawit's contributions to her community have been significant, leveraging her engineering skills to foster development and innovation. Her potential extends beyond her immediate surroundings, promising broad societal advancements that could benefit not just Ethiopia, but the global community.

The psychological and emotional toll on her family is unbearable. Her mother's health has drastically declined following the sudden and tragic death of her grandchild - a loss brought on by the harrowing circumstances surrounding Nazarawit's legal battle. In the face of such personal devastation, her family remains hopeful that international intervention can save Nazarawit from an irreversible injustice.

While the Chinese legal system holds weight in its punitive measures against drug-related crimes, this case demands deeper scrutiny to unearth the truth behind the conspiracy that ensnared Nazarawit. With her life hanging in the balance, it is imperative to halt this impending execution and ensure that justice is truly served.

We urge the Ethiopian government, human rights organizations, and diplomatic entities to advocate fervently for Nazarawit’s release. This plea extends to all who can lend their voice and influence to ensure her safe return to Ethiopia and to reassess the charges levied against her with fairness and empathy.

Sign this petition to stand against this miscarriage of justice and to support Nazarawit Abera in her fight for freedom.
