Johan Teterissa:Faxjam for freedom of expression
Faxjam for freedom of expression Johan Teterissa is a teacher from Maluku, Indonesia who is currently serving a 15 year prison sentence after he took part in a peaceful protest. He has been imprisoned solely for peacefully exercising his right to freedom of expression. Last week, we spoke with Johan and he asked us to share this message with you: “I urge Amnesty International to continue campaigning for the freedom of all political prisoners from Maluku...we should not have been charged in the first place... many of the prisoners are still suffering from the torture and some have even died... the police should be investigated for what they did... our families should also be given reparations as they are now suffering financially without us... I thank Amnesty International for its support.“ ...
