Tyrant Meles on Birtukan Mideksa
He insisted that Birtukan's imprisonment is a judicial matter. “I’m sure you remember me telling you releasing Birtukan was not part of the (peace) package,” Meles told reporters recently. “It was not part of the package then, it is not part of the package now, and it will not be part of the package tomorrow. This is a purely legal issue, and it is between her and the law. No one can come between the two. No one. Not opposition parties, not our friends abroad.” VOA, August 2010-----
"There is nothing more inspiring than longing for a day when all citizens of Ethiopia fear no one but the supremacy of the law." Former Judge Birtukan Mideksa.
