Ethiopia: reports suggest that a majority of citizens refused to register for the coming election, arguing that participation would legitimise a sham. The regime nevertheless denied them basic services while recording their names from official archives to inflate participation
On April 1st, 2026 two health professionals, Samuel Girma and Yohannes, were arrested, tortured, and killed by Abiy Ahmed’s regime defense Forces while working at Abiyot Fana Health Center in Mecha Woreda, Gojjam, Amhara. They were targeted accused of providing medical care to individuals identified as Fano fighters.
This act represents a grave violation of medical ethics, which require healthcare workers to treat all patients without discrimination. Reports of similar actions against other health workers in Amhara region raise serious concerns about the safety of professionals and the erosion of basic humanitarian principles.
