The struggle to get a prisoner free can be reinvigorated by a new song and video, where many famous Swedish artists comers. The song is called Birdsong and behind the project is actor Rafael Edholm. Tonight, the song will be presented in a first listening: 

– Bird song , so it is a song that was written by Daniel Boyacioglu and Moh Denebi have put text on it. And it is presented by the likes Ane Brun, Sebbe Staxx , Edda Magnason and Cleo , says Rafael Edholm. 

– This is based on an idea I ’ve had since a while back, when I started to feel that I must do something with them and forces them contacts I have. 

– Dawit Isaak is a family member, you could say. 

And when the family met , the idea was born that something must be done to make life in the struggle for Dawit Isaak’s release again . With that , Rafael Edholm really succeed. 

The project and the upcoming video involved lots of famous artists , politicians and journalists. 

– And the quiet diplomacy in all its glory , which I think is very, very and has worked many times – it no longer works. So I thought I wanted to give a voice , get started a little attention to the case of Dawit Isaak. 

Attention would also un Rapporteur on the human rights they clean the Horn of Africa and Eritrea Sheila Keetharuth . On Tuesday, she demanded again that Eritrea must release the thousands of prisoners held without charge and incommunicado . Keetharuth think there are about 10 000 political prisoners in Eritrea , among them so far as known, 28 journalists.
