SvenskaStatement by Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt on the imprisoned Swedes in Ethiopia
"The Government is seriously concerned about today's judgment against the two Swedish journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson in Addis Abeba.
"Our starting point is and remains that they have been in the country on a journalistic mission. They should be freed as soon as possible and be able to rejoin their families in Sweden.
"We are examining the judgement and the situation also in consultation with the journalists and their families.
"But we are already making high-level contact with the Ethiopian government in this matter."
