ጉዳዩ፡- የልጄ ተመስገን ደሳለኝን ጉብኝት ይመለከታል

ጋዜጠኛ ተመስገን ደሳለኝ ከአብራኬ የወጣ ሁለተኛ ልጄ ነው፡፡ ገና ከህፃንነቱ ጀምሮ ለሰው አሣቢ፣ ሀገር ወዳድና ታታሪ ስለመሆኑ ከእኔ በላይ የሚያውቁት ይመሰክራሉ፡፡ ልጄ ተመስገን ለወገኔ አሰብኩ ባለ በእስር ቤት ያለጎብኚ እየተሰቃየብኝ ይገኛል፡፡ መቼም፣ የእናት ሆድ አያስችልምና እባካችሁ ልጄን ታደጉት፡፡ እባካችሁ ቢያንስ ካለበት እየሄድኩ የልጄን አይን እንዳይ እንዲፈቀድልኝ ተባበሩኝ፡፡ የልጄን ድምጽ ከሠማሁ ይኸዉ አንድ ወር ሞላኝ፡፡ ታናሽ ወንድሙ ታሪኩ ደሳለኝ ለወንድሙ ብሎ የቋጠረዉን ምሣ ይዞ ዝዋይ ማረሚያ ቤት ቢሄድም በማረሚያ ቤቱ ጠባቂዎች ተደብድቦ የያዘውን ምግብ እንኳ ሣያደርስ ሜዳ ላይ ተደፍቶ ተመልሷል፡፡ መቼም እናንተም ልጆች ይኖራችኋል፤ ደግሞም የልጅን ነገር ታውቁታላችሁ፡፡ እኔ አሁን በእርጅና ዕድሜዬ ላይ እገኛለሁ፡፡ ከአሁን በኋላ ብቆይም ለትንሽ ጊዜያት ነው፡፡ በዚህች ጊዜ ውስጥ ልጄን እየተመላለስኩ እየጠየኩ፣ ድምፁን እያሰማሁ፣ አይዞህ እያልኩ ብኖር ለእኔ መታደል ነበር፡፡ እባካችሁ እርዱኝ የልጄ ድምጽ ናፈቀኝ፡፡ እሱን መጎብኘት የተከለከለበት ምክንያት ምን እንደሆነ እንኳን እስካሁን አላወቅሁም፡፡ ከወንድሙ ድብደባ በኋላም ጥር 10 ወደ ጠዋት አካባቢ የሄዱት ጓደኞቹ እና ወንድሞቹ ሳያዩት ተመልሰዋል፡፡

ተምዬ ስታመም የሚያስታምመኝ፣ “አይዞሽ እማዬ” የሚለኝ ረዳቴ ነው፡፡ ሌላ ዘመድ የለኝም፡፡ የምተዳደረውም ልጆቼ ለፍተውና ደክመው በሚያመጧት ትንሽ ብር ነው፡፡ ዛሬ ግን ይኸዉ ልጆቼም ወንድማቸውን ለማየት እየተንከራተቱ ነው፡፡

በእናታችሁ ይዣችኋለሁ፤ ከቻላችሁ ልጄ እንዲፈታልኝ እና እኔም ያለችኝን ቀሪ የእድሜ ዘመን አይን አይኑን እያየሁ እንድኖር እንድታደርጉልኝ፤ ይህን ማድረግ ከአቅም በላይ ከሆነ ደግሞ ካለበት ድረስ እየተመላለስኩ እኔና ሌሎች ልጆቼ እንዲሁም ወገኖቹ እንዲጠይቁት ቢደረግልኝ ስል በአክብሮት እጠይቃችኋለሁ፡፡ ልጄን አውቀዋለሁ፡፡ አንድ ነገር ሲገጥመዉ ሆድ ይብሰዋል፡፡ ቢያንስ እንኳን ቤተሰቦቹን ሲያይ ስለሚፅናና ይኸዉ እንዲፈቀድልኝ እማፀናለሁ፡፡ እኔ ምንም አቅም የሌለኝ አሮጊት ነኝ፡፡ ሁሉንም ለናንተ ሠጥቻችኋለሁ፡፡ ከእግዚአብሄር ጋር እንደምታስተካክሉልኝ እና እንደገና የልጄን ፊት እንዳይ እንደምታደርጉኝ ሙሉ ተስፋ አለኝ፡፡
እንግዲህ የየካዉ ቅዱስ ሚካኤል ይከተላችሁ፡፡ መቼም የእናትን ሆድ ታውቁታላችሁ፤ የልጅ ነገር አያስችልም፡፡ ሆድም ቶሎ ይሸበራል፡፡ ስለዚህ እባካችሁ እኔንም ልጆቼንም እርዱን እንላለን፡፡

Letter from Journalist Temesgen Desalegn’s mother
Date: February 9, 2015
To: The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission,
Addis Ababa

Re: Visitation Rights for my Son Temesgen Desalegn

Temesgen is my second born son. Many testify to his having been a caring, conscientious and patriotic individual beginning at a very young age. Now, just because he cared, he finds himself suffering in prison, without even visits from friends and family. As his mother, I find this excruciating. Please help my son. Please help me to at least be able to go visit him where he is. It has now been a full month since I have heard my son’s voice.

His younger brother Tariku Desalegn brought food to Ziway prison for Temesgen from home. The prison guards beat him up, spilled the food he had carried and sent him back on his way. I would imagine you also have children, and understands how it feels.

I am but an elder. It would have been a great blessing for me to live out the remaining years hearing my son’s voice, giving him courage, and seeing him regularly. Please help me. I miss my son terribly! I don’t even have any idea why he is not allowed visitors. Even after his brother was beaten, his friends and brothers have been turned away without being allowed to visit him.

Temesgen is the son who takes good care of me and gives me courage. I have no one else. My only support is derived from what little my children are able to provide. Now, my other children are occupied trying to find opportunity to see their dear brother.

For the sake of your own mothers, if you are able, please see to it that my son is released from prison and that I can live out my days with him by my side. If this is beyond your ability, however, I respectfully request that I along with my other children and others be allowed to visit him regularly. I know my son. He is very sensitive. Being able to see his family will be a source of comfort for him. I am a powerless elderly woman. I can only entrust this to you.

With God’s help, I am hopeful that you will take care of this for me and allow me access to my son. May the Archangel St. Michael support and guide you. I’m sure you understand what this feels like to a mother. It provokes a lot of anxiety. So please, help me and my children.

Mrs. Fanaye Irdachew
