Global alliance condemned recent unlawful arrests reminding the government of its promises while also reminiscing that even in its wake 2000 youth were taken and mistreated and while memories of this and Tplf are still fresh another is being repeated.
Amnesty's Ethiopian activist and reporter Eskindir also spoke up in an interview on another video
"We are beginning to head back to previous Tplf ways. I don't want to lose hope and say we are there yet but we are beginning"
"The law is being used to stifle opposition"
"The arrests were not due to threats to the country"
"It seems to have been done in a studied and deliberate manner"
He mentioned the fact that the arrested are known not to be connected to the situation that the government has claimed an "assassination".
This comes with a wave of uproar from several activists after arrests of Addis Ababa baladera committee who have been acting on behalf of the people along with Eskindir to speak up against recent Issues of the Addis Ababa question and the issue of "Oromo special benefit".
