It was on July 1 that photographer Johan Persson and reporter Martin Schibbye were arrested by Ethiopian security forces while Persson and Schibbye were crossing the border from Somalia to Ethiopia in an attempt to make a report in the closed Ethiopian region of Ogaden. The purpose of the trip was to confirm information they previously received from refugees about human rights violations in Ogaden. On September 7 they were charged with the suspicion of terrorism offenses and for illegally entering the Ogaden region from Somalia. In December, Persson and Schibbye were sentenced to 11 years in jail. Amnesty International demanded on December 21, 2011, to release immediately and unconditionally two Swedish journalists convicted by an Ethiopian court despite their legitimate journalistic work. On September 10, 2012, they were pardoned and released. Persson returned to Sweden on September 14, 2012, and subsequently held a press conference together with Martin Schibbye, telling about their time in Ethiopia.
