"Abera" from Ethiopia Wins Asylum!

“Abera” worked for the Ethiopian Land Management Department. He was conscripted by the Ethiopian army to work in the war against Tigray - a region in northern Ethiopia. Abera is opposed to the war, so he fled to the US, where he was imprisoned in a detention center. 

CIJF provided the funding for immigration attorney Elizabeth Lopez to take up his case. Due to her efforts, Abera won asylum this year!
