Swedish journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson risked everything to report on the impact of the oil hunt on the Ogaden region of Somalia and Ethiopia. After being captured and wounded by the Ethiopian army, they were sentenced to 11 years in prison for terrorism. The journalists and their cellmates, including writers and politicians, were subjected to harsh conditions, including deadly diseases, beatings, and repression. Despite these challenges, they fought to preserve their freedom of speech and identity, ultimately spending 438 days in the notorious Kality prison in Addis Ababa.
