A report by the New Lines Institute says Ethiopia and its allies had ‘intent to destroy Tigrayans as an ethnic group’ and calls for Ethiopia to face persecution at the International Court of Justice https://t.co/ot3jsszDJI

Indeed exhilrating to see Justice Bureau of #Tigray Interim Regional administration requesting an enquiry on police Brutality against protesters. This a good sign of professionalism and Impartiality, which could ensure police accountabilty. Kudos!

[UMD Media @UMDMedia_]

The #Justice Bureau of #Tigray Interim Regional Administration (TIRA) wrote a letter to President @reda_getachew demanding the establishment of "an independent and impartial committee of inquiry to investigate the origin, development, process, implementation, and the legality1/3

Days after arrested in mass last thursday in #Mekelle by Tigray authorities, z whereabout of Tigrean Opposition Leaders remain uncertain ,amounting 2 enforced disappearance. In z abscene of procedural guarantees, risks of torture & ill-treatments r now heightened.

The whereabouts of leaders of #Tigray’s four opposition parties still unknown a day after they were detained by police in Thursday’s protest after @reda_getachew’s Interim R. Administration called it "illegal". Journalists & activists are among those brutally beaten by police.

[Yonas M Aregawi @YonasMebratu2]

Security forces have been deploying excessive use of force against peaceful protesters in #Tigray.
Freedom of assembly is human right!
@reda_getachew release all protesters arrested in relation to z protest.

@reda_getachew's police force beating, torturing & somehow seemingly training Karate on peaceful protester.
The one who is being beaten is Tedros Belay, a recently demobilized TDF member.
He is a highly trained combatant, but he stayed calm while his friends in the army beat him.

[Hailu Kebede @HailuKebede_]

Their brutality is unheard of.
The protest slogans and the reaction from the regime forces are here.
TPLF and its Interim Administration can't hide their true behavior anymore.

Some of the issues to be raised in the upcoming Sept.7 public demonstration in Mekelle.
1. Respect Tigray's Territorial integrity.
2. Violence on Women & girls must be stopped; justice & accountability should prevail.
3. Salary & pension should be paid.
4. IDP's must return home.

Lawlessness reigns when impunity is the norm.

Trauma begets trauma

Tigrayans are traumatized & it’s evident in everything.

Women have been harassed, molested, raped, robed & killed during Ashenda

A grenade was thrown in a club killing 5 last night

When there’s no accountability what do we expect?l

@MyTegrai @GCheanadug It is so saddening. RIP bro!

Military courts in #Ethiopia,according to z new draft which will be submitted 2 parliament, will hold z jursidiction to try crimes of breach of 'peace agreement',Genocide & war crimes. Is breach of peace agreement even a crime ? Who will be z target ? Is zis part of z CoH? ????

@cherinet_ If TPLF joins PP, TPLF as a party would cease 2 exist ,and they would no longer confusingly claim 2 be z successor of z original TPLF(z struggle leader).This could potentially break z bond b/n TPLF & z people 4 good. Finally, our people would look into other options 2 survive.
