Yesterday October 04, 2016 Natnael Feleke, a Zone 9 Blogger
and two of his friends, Tsedeke Digafe and Addisalem Mulugeta are taken
detention. The reason given by the police about their arrest is while sitting
at Lalibela Restaurant and talking loudly about the death of hundreds on
Sunday, October 02, 2016 at the yearly Thanksgiving ceremony in Bishoftu,
Ethiopia and blaming the government for the deaths occurred, they uttered
seditious remarks in a public place.
Natnael and his friends brought to the Federal First Instance court, Kera
Branch Criminal Bench this morning and the judge adjourned them for tomorrow
October 06, 2016 to give a decision on the bail issue.
We at the Zone 9 are deeply saddened by this news that
Ethiopia is becoming a country citizens can’t even discuss anything political.
Thus, we request the Ethiopian government to release Natnael and two of his
friends unconditionally.
