12 YEARS OF STRUGGLE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
SOCEPP was established in March 1995 primarily to publicize the plight of the "forgotten" political prisoners in Ethiopia. At the time, many political prisoners and dozens of the "disappeared" were ignored by local and international human rights agencies. Since then, SOCEPP has emerged as a determined and persistent fighter for the respect of human rights in Ethiopia.

What Blair and Geldof didn't see
By Thembi Mutch, Brirtish Journalism Review
By the August I began to work out what my job actually was (“consultant” was supposed to cover it), to whom I was accountable (nobody other than myself, it seemed), and how little the Ethiopian Government actually wanted a foreigner inside the DPPC.
