Concern Regarding Treatment of Ethiopian Artist Teddy Afro and Associates

Dear Secretary Marco Rubio, @SecRubio

I am writing to express serious concern about recent developments in Ethiopia involving the well-known artist Teddy Afro (Tewodros Kassahun).

According to multiple reports, there has been increasing pressure and harassment directed toward him. This situation has escalated with the arrest of individuals close to him, including his spokesperson and deputy manager, reportedly without clear charges. Most concerning is the reported forced entry into his private studio by individuals said to be in federal police uniform, where equipment and unreleased creative work were taken.

If accurate, these actions raise serious questions about respect for rule of law, due process, and the protection of freedom of expression. Targeting artists or those around them for their work or viewpoints can have a chilling effect on creativity and public discourse.

As someone who believes in the importance of human rights, artistic freedom, and democratic values, I respectfully ask that the U.S. Department of State monitor this situation closely and engage where appropriate to encourage transparency, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law.

Ethiopia has a rich cultural heritage, and voices like Teddy Afro’s play an important role in shaping dialogue and unity. It is important that such voices are protected, not suppressed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

#Ethiopia #Eritrea #Ethiopian #Teddyafro #Ethiopianmusic

A troubling escalation in the harassment of singer Teddy Afro. Eyewitnesses and close sources claim that around 9 PM, group of armed Ethiopian federal policemen arrived in a patrol vehicle and forcibly entered his private studio and office in the CMC area.

The officers severely beat the security guard of the building to break into the studio, bypassing legal procedures and any court authorization. This incident raises serious concerns about violations of due process, respect for private property, and the broader safety and rights of citizens.

Why would the @AbiyAhmedAli government, be afraid of an artist like Teddy Afro? Teddy Afro expresses the people’s concerns through his music and gives voice to public questions. Through his songs, he has become the voice of the people.

Teddy Afro's Private Studio Raided by Armed Men in Federal Police Uniforms: Confiscated Equipment Puts the Artist's Intellectual Property at Risk

The ongoing pressure and harassment directed at the legendary Ethiopian singer Tewodros Kassahun, widely known as Teddy Afro, have escalated to a dangerously unlawful level. Eyewitnesses and close sources have confirmed that armed individuals wearing Federal Police uniforms and driving Federal Police vehicles forcibly broke into the singer's private studio and office located in the CMC area.

A Nighttime Raid and Assault

This illegal and forceful intrusion reportedly occurred yesterday, around 9:00 PM local time. Reports indicate that the armed men severely beat the building's security guard to force their way into the premises. By completely bypassing standard legal procedures and the requirement for a court-issued search warrant, this violent nighttime raid on a private citizen's workspace has raised serious alarms regarding the integrity of the country's justice system and the overall safety of its citizens.

Severe Threat to Unreleased Intellectual Property

Beyond the physical violence and property damage, the most critical aspect of this incident lies in the contents of the studio and the specific items taken. This space serves as Teddy Afro's primary office and highly confidential creative sanctuary where he produces his work, stores unreleased music and lyrics, and archives his new concepts. The studio houses numerous highly valuable intellectual properties. According to newly confirmed information, the intruders confiscated two laptops, speakers, music production equipment, and various other studio accessories. Because these seized laptops and production tools contain the artist's unreleased works and private creative files, the threat posed to his intellectual property is now of grave concern.

Targeted Intimidation Campaign

Legal experts and arts commentators are refusing to treat this incident as a routine robbery or standard police search. Following the recent arrest of Teddy Afro's deputy manager and close friend, Mr. Yusuf Yassin, who remains detained without any formal charges, this attack on the heart of the artist's creative space is being strongly condemned. Analysts describe it as a systematic, deliberate campaign of intimidation aimed at obstructing his artistic output, seizing his unreleased projects, and inflicting severe psychological pressure on the singer. Public demands are rapidly mounting for the government and relevant Federal Police officials to provide an immediate and transparent explanation regarding this violent act committed under the guise of law enforcement and the severe endangerment of the beloved artist's intellectual property.

Musicians are often more effective at telling truth to power than journalists or experts. Like him or hate him, Teddy Afro deserves credit for his willingness and courage in saying through song what he sees as failures in Ethiopian politics. Listen!
