🚨Breaking News- related to a legal case of an alleged victimization of rape and genocide survivors of Tigray women by Hiwyet organization and its CEO that was reported months ago. Someone tipped me this “Notice from the Ethiopian Federal High Court” that’s published in the @EthiopiaHerald

Plaintiff: Tigray Region Justice Bureau

Defendants: Hiwyet Charity Organization and Mrs Meseret Hadush W/Mariam

Re: criminal litigation of aggravated breach of trust (serious breach of trust). Because you can not be found in your address to be served, you are hereby ordered to appear at the Tigray Region Supreme Court, Criminal bench Mekelle City Circuit Court on May 12, at 2:30 local time to defend to the charges filled against you. The court has ordered that if you fail to appear on the specified date and time, the case will be heard in absentia.

Source: The Ethiopian Herald, April 28, 2026

Note:
I firmly believe that anyone is innocent until proven guilty in the court of law but in the court of morality the bar and scrutiny must be much higher and hence the principle of presumption of credibility should apply. The Istanbul Convention and UN Women guidelines emphasize that the absence of a legal conviction does not invalidate the experiences of survivors, nor should it be used to dismiss or diminish their voices. The legal system is one avenue for justice, but it is not the only measure of truth or accountability, especially in cases where systemic barriers often prevent survivors from coming forward or achieving legal redress.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Disclaimer:
I have nothing personal about the accused persons or organization but given that there seems to be double victimization of the survivor of rape and SGBV, there needs to be an independent investigation. As a public health professional and someone who advocates for justice, I didn’t want to ignore the loud voices of the victims which were corroborated with evidence. See below some of the examples.

PublicHealthMessage#8: Conflict Exacerbates Women’s Morbidity and Mortality

According to a United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) report and other related studies, the 2020-22 Tigray war and crisis has devastated women’s health and dignity, with over 80% of health facilities destroyed, rising maternal morbidity, deaths, and increased obstetric fistula cases due to lack of care and services.

Women endure trauma, displacement, and limited access to lifesaving services, yet limited collaborative initiatives like fistula repair, maternal waiting homes, and psychosocial support offer hope and recovery.

Call to action:

Professionals and policymakers must urgently rebuild health systems, expand skilled maternal care, invest in mental health and economic recovery, and prioritize women’s health and rights.

Sustained funding, accountability, and global solidarity are essential to restore dignity, save lives, and ensure that Tigrayan women receive the justice and healthcare they deserve.

Almost four years since a peace agreement signed between the Tigray People's Liberation Front and the Ethiopian government, hundreds of thousands of Tigrayans are still displaced and cannot return to their homes. https://t.co/SijvGGT6Ui

[CITG.Contact @CitgContact]

Sexual violence in the war on Tigray was not random; It was weaponized.

The Milietes case exposes the genocidal intent behind these crimes and the urgent need for accountability and justice for survivors.

"I lost everything."

Female veterans of Ethiopia’s Tigray war share their front-line trauma, recalling how the conflict in the north destroyed their lives - as fears grow that fighting could resume.

Head of Tigray Health Bureau says Tigray health system is in danger of totall collapse due to the more than 3-month ban on fuel, medicine, budget and other services. The Abiy regime has effectively imposed a blockade of goods & services on Tigray.

I met a guy from Tigray at the DC Dulles airport who said he was going to be there until February when we were flying to Ethiopia.

Man I hope my dawg was able to get out in time 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

This is crazy

[Kassa HaileMariam @KassaHMariam]

According to various sources in Tigray, the Ethiopian government violated the 2022 Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement by deploying drones to target civilians in Central Tigray. Today's attacks in two locations, Enticho and Gendebta, resulted in a civilian fatality, injuries, and the destruction of trucks transporting food and cooking items. @POTUS @SecRubio @SenatorRisch @SenatorShaheen @RepBrianMast @RepGregoryMeeks @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @SenateGOP @SenateDems @antonioguterres

[BREX7 @BerhanuAsres]

Dear Ambassador Masinga, I am unsure if any American diplomat has ever been photographed in a celebratory manner with individuals deemed war criminals by the US State Department for committing ethnic cleansing, as described by Secretary Blinken in his March 2021 speech. These individuals and settlers have engaged in ethnic cleansing through extrajudicial killings, forcibly displacing over a million people, and resettling approximately a million settlers by seizing the land and property of Tigrayans in Western Tigray.

Ambassador Masinga, it is well-known that for months, the genocidal Abiy Ahmed Ali has restricted your travel to Tigray. So, how is it that he now permits you to visit Western Tigray? Is this part of his agenda? For your reference, I have attached some international reports on the war crimes and crimes against humanity these individuals committed in Western Tigray.

Never Forget The Axum Massacre- on ሕዳር ፅዮን 21 (Nov 29)

Hundreds of innocent civilians were massacred in #Axum by #EritreanForces during the war on Tigray as documented @NewlinesInst. These inhumane and barbaric acts were followed by denial from Abiy Ahmed and genocidal voices like “Deacon” Daniel with “Kesis” Ephrem on @AdebabayMedia

We may choose forgiveness, but we should NEVER forget.

Justice must prevail- for truth, for humanity, for the victims.
