Born in pain, growing in torture
Six years ago – a predisposed Ethiopian prosecutor accused journalist Eskinder Nega and his
wife, Serkalem Fasil, and charged them with genocide and treason. The young couples who love
their country and profession were expecting their first child when they were sent to the notorious
Kality prison. While in prison, Serkalem gave birth to the couple’s first child and the life of
Nafkote Eskinder started in Prison. The prematurely born Nafkote was severely underweight
when he was born due to a deliberately imposed physical and psychological hardship on his
mother. The prison doctor ordered to place him in an incubator to save his life, but the heartless
prison authorities who have no regard for life denied the newly born baby the only chance to
save his life.
