A TEN-MINUTE MISSION: The Least Price for Freedom offers a powerful account of Mr. Hurrisoo’s most harrowing memories as a prisoner of conscience, persecuted for his unwavering stand for the freedom of the Oromo people under Ethiopia’s brutal Derg military regime. Over nearly twelve years, he endured confinement in ten different cells and four human cages. Though deeply personal, this story rises beyond the individual, capturing the resilience, courage, and suffering of countless Oromo prisoners of conscience who faced similar oppression, with imprisonment often spanning from eight to nearly twelve years. The injustices detailed here give voice not only to the author’s experience but also to the many others silenced by years of imprisonment and torture. An appendix documenting the names of Oromo prisoners of conscience transforms this memoir into a collective testament of resilience, resistance, and the unbreakable pursuit of freedom.
