Tewodros Kassahun a.k.a Teddy Afro has become a musical sensation in Ethiopia over the past several years. His singing and song writing style have earned him comparisons to the Jamaican reggae superstar Bob Marley. His music combines reggae and East African pop has earned him a huge popularity. Teddy’s lyrics are infused with political and spiritual messages, which has been a key component in his success. Teddy is a strong advocate for peace and unity in Ethiopia.
He has also criticized in some of his songs the current regime in failing to respect human rights and Ethiopian integrity and not making changes by which the brutal regime felt insulted and want to revange. The regime has banned Teddy's “Yasteseryal” song from airing in Ethiopia, make a false charge on the pretext of a traffic accident and throw Teddy in prison.
Teddy Afro is the latest victim of the injustice in Ethiopia. We demand for the immediate release of Teddy Afro and all political prisoners. Please learn more and sign the petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/TedyAfro/petition.html Sincerely, The www.freeteddyafro.org |
