Athanasius Ghebre-Ab, a professor of history at the University of Cincinnati and a parish priest in the Eritrean Orthodox Church, urges President Donald Trump and the U.S. to take action and lead the international community to release religious prisoners in Eritrea in an op-ed co-authored with Yosef I. Abramowitz in The Jerusalem Post.
