And "because of political games, the Swedes risked 40 years in prison," laments the Svenska Dagbladet, adding that "Ethiopia wants to make an example of this case." Schibbye Johan Persson and Martin were arrested on July 1 while investigating the oil activities and human rights violations in the Ogaden, a region where they entered with the help of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF).

But the minister, who was a member of the board of Lundin Oil, a petroleum company with interests in Ethiopia, has been widely criticized for its lack of commitment to the defense of the two journalists. "Our Minister of Foreign Affairs, in general, which talks a lot but does little, says that every day. In fact, what they really want to say about the speeches Swedish human rights and the millions of crowns of the Swedish taxpayers for aid to Ethiopia? If we are not able to fight for press freedom and the lives of two Swedish journalists, openly and aggressively, the more we can be proud? "
