"Long Term Prisoners" is the theme for
AI week this year. Before he was set free,
Mr. Shumuk had spent 42 years in Soviet
prisons because of his beliefs and political
activity.
The theme covers cases of long-term
Prisoners -of -Conscience (POCs ), including
"disappearances", administrative de-
tainees, those detained after the expiry of
their sentences and people subjected to pro-
longed prison terms with short breaks over
a long period.
One of the long term prisoners featured as
special appeal cases this year is Tsehai
Tolessa of Ethiopia. Like Fekeda Hundesa,
on whose behalf South Bruce members
write appeals, Mr. Tolessa is a member of
the Ethiopian Evangelical Mekane Yesus
Church. He was arrested in 1980 and is still
detained uncharged and untried.
Al week is about people like Danylo
Shumuk. With the help of all Ar groups
throughout the world, AI week will focus at-
tention on other long term prisoners who,
unlike Mr. Shumuk, are still in jail.
