We call on interim authorities in #Tigray to immediately release peaceful protestors detained since Tuesday and initiate investigations against security officials who abused demonstrators.
Interim authorities in #Tigray must respect people's rights to freedom of expression and association in a region. This is particularly important in a region emerging from devastating conflict.
Amnesty International has received alarming reports about detention, beatings & intimidation of peaceful protestors in Tigray demanding justice and accountability for conflict-related crimes, along with 38 other demands.

As the Tigray forces disarm in faithful compliance with the Obasanjo led AU peace accord, the Eritrean army must withdraw from every inch of the Tigray land.
Presence in Tigray of Eritrean and Amhara forces, inability to deliver emergency aid to big chunks of territory, erratic basic services, restrictions - all feeding Tigrayan discontent.
Tigray gave away too much and got very little in return.
That's in nature of victor's peace.
Despite the endless trauma, it gives me hope to see bright minded young researchers like @zenebuabera21. She is only 1st yr MSc student at a university in Isreal. Yet her first paper on “waste water treatment” is already published. Way to go dear sister 👏🏼 https://t.co/0c6Il0dD9v
We must call out human rights situations that are not on the front pages:
Almost 800.000 people killed in the war in #Tigray
The savage reality for the people of #Afghanistan, especially women & girls
1,450 political prisoners in #Belarus
They deserve #accountability.
The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom said on that Eritrean troops "murdered" his uncle in Tigray. He was “not in good shape” after the death.
Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel refused to respond https://t.co/eJcNsTvXd3
There is no excuse for POTUS to send US officials to #Ethiopia for #IGF2022. Our participation legitimizes a gov’t whose track record on internet governance includes imposing an internet blackout on #Tigray for 2 years – crushing #freespeech & hiding horrific #humanrights abuses.
Eritrean troops and forces from Amhara have looted businesses, private properties, vehicles, and health clinics in Shire, a northwestern town that was captured from Tigray forces last month, two aid workers there told The Associated Press

Guns are silent, but there is no peace. Only siege and misery for millions of Tigrayans.
As par Pretoria accord, by now TDF would have "disarmed", Eritrean troops pulled out, federal "structures" restored in Tigray, siege lifted and aid access to all parts restored.
