In a time when speaking the truth has become a dangerous act, አቡነ ሉቃስ, a dedicated priest of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, has stood firm in condemning the injustices against the Amhara people. For courageously voicing the suffering and truth of his people, he is now facing accusations and persecution.

This treatment is not only unjust but also a direct attack on the principles of humanity, justice, and faith. No one should face retaliation for standing up against oppression or for defending those who are being silenced and brutalized. The voices of truth must be protected, not silenced.

We call upon all people of conscience to stand with አቡነ ሉቃስ. Let us raise our voices to demand respect, fairness, and an end to the persecution of those who speak for humanity. Supporting the Amhara people and their advocates is a moral duty we cannot ignore.
