G-15 is a name given to a group in Eritrea that opposes the policy of President Isaias Afewerki postponing elections and their failure in implementing the constitution. The membership of this group consists of former members of the President's ruling People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ) which has ruled the country since its independence in 1993. In May 2001 the group issued an open letter raising criticism against Isayas Afeworki's actions calling them "illegal and unconstitutional." Of the 15 members of the group, 11 are imprisoned, three are now living in the United States and the last remaining one, Muhammad Berhan Belata, had left the group and rejoined the government. The 11 members who are imprisoned are thought to be charged with treason. The Central Office of the PFDJ believes that they share, "...a common guilt: at the minimum, abdication of responsibility during Eritrea's difficult hours, at the maximum, grave conspiracy." Amnesty International named the imprisoned 11 prisoners of conscience and called for their immediate release. List of the G-15 includes: * Petros Solomon * Mahmoud Ahmed Sherifo * Haile Woldense * Mesfin Hagos * Ogbe Abraha * Hamid Himid * Saleh Idris Kekya * Estifanos Seyoum * Berhane Ghebrezgabiher * Astier Fesehazion * Mohammed Berhan Blata * Germano Nati * Beraki Gebreselassie * Adhanom Ghebremariam * Mahamoud Ahmed ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「G-15 (Eritrea)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
