Very serious concerns over reported attack on Christians in which, as reported by @BBCBreaking, “more than 60 people have been killed in a series of attacks on Christians in Ethiopia's Oromia region, according to the country's Orthodox Church.”
In a statement posted on Facebook, our sister Ethiopian Orthodox Church said that “it had repeatedly raised concerns about insecurity with authorities at different levels of government, but that ‘so far there has been no solution’".
We pray propose for the departed, comfort for the bereaved, healing for the injured and traumatised, peace upon the region and the nation, and wisdom for those who lead.

News: Jailed opposition MP Christian Tadelle’s health deteriorating: Defense lawyer
Addis Abeba – The health of #Christian Taddele, a member of the House of Peoples’ Representatives detained at Kilinto Prison, is worsening, his lawyer Solomon Gezahegn told Addis Standard.
Solomon said that during his most recent visit two days ago, Christian reported his condition had significantly deteriorated. Six months earlier, both Christian and fellow detainee Yohannes Boyalew were treated at Mekrez Hospital before being returned to prison.
According to Solomon, Christian was previously prescribed liquid nourishment by doctors, which his family had been providing. However, prison authorities have recently restricted the entry of such food. “He is now in a difficult situation,” the lawyer said.
Christian had suffered intestinal bleeding that has since stopped, but swelling has developed, further weakening his health. He has requested that prescribed liquid foods be allowed into the prison and asked to be permitted to sit during family visits due to his inability to stand.
In December 2024, Christian and Yohannes underwent intestinal surgery but were transferred back to prison the same day, despite doctors reportedly recommending they remain in hospital for continued treatment. Prison authorities denied the request, saying the hospital only asked for follow-up appointments.
Christian, Yohannes, and 50 others remain in detention facing terrorism charges linked to the state of emergency in the Amhara region. The charge sheet accuses them of organizing with the Amhara Fano Unity Council to pursue a political ideology by force.

The curious case of Esayas Belay!
Heartbreaking. Disturbing. Unbelievable.
In a country where politicians casually say “Torture is gone,” the reality for Esayas — a young man who gave so much to his country in such a short time — is tragically different.

To the international community, Justice for Christian Tadele Tsegaye.
=======================================
Christian Tadele Tsegaye, a leading opposition figure and spokesperson for the National Movement of Amhara (NaMA), has become a victim of severe political persecution under the regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. His arrest, detention, and brutal treatment in prison highlight the increasing repression and authoritarian tactics used by the Ethiopian government to silence political dissent.
On August 3, 2023, Tadele was arrested by security forces during a state of emergency in the Amhara region. His arrest was violent, with reports confirming that he was physically abused by the authorities, a clear indication of the heavy-handed methods typically used by the government against its critics. The following day, police searched his residence, further illustrating the government's attempt to intimidate and suppress not just Tadele, but his family as well.
Tadele's arrest is viewed as part of a broader, government-led crackdown on opposition groups, particularly those from the Amhara region. As a prominent critic of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's policies, Tadele’s detention is widely considered politically motivated, aiming to silence a key voice of resistance against the government's actions, particularly regarding the Amhara people's rights.
While in detention, Tadele's health has reportedly worsened due to the harsh conditions in prison. The Ethiopian government's cruel treatment of political prisoners like Tadele has drawn condemnation from human rights organizations and international observers. His case exemplifies the regime's blatant disregard for basic human rightsand the rule of law.
Prison conditions for political detainees like Tadele are notoriously harsh, marked by overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and poor living conditions. These factors, compounded by Tadele’s declining health and lack of proper medical attention, have led to further deterioration of his condition, making his situation even more critical. Political prisoners in Ethiopia often face these challenges, especially when their imprisonment is politically motivated.
Tadele’s mistreatment is not an isolated case but part of a wider pattern of persecution aimed at Amhara elites and political activists who oppose the government. His vocal criticism of Prime Minister Abiy’s policies, particularly on ethnic federalism, regional autonomy, and the handling of Amhara issues, has placed him at the center of government scrutiny. His position as a vocal critic of Abiy’s leadership has made him a target for repression.
This repression is particularly troubling considering the Ethiopian government's commitment to ethnic federalism, a system that critics like Tadele argue has been misused to consolidate power and suppress the rights of the Amhara people. The government's use of torture and imprisonment as tools to stifle opposition has raised serious concerns about the state of democracy and human rights in Ethiopia.
In March 2024, the Ethiopian Parliament took the drastic step of lifting Tadele’s parliamentary immunity, which removed the last of his legal protections. This move was widely seen as a way for the government to pursue charges against Tadele without any legal constraints. Despite opposition from two parliamentarians, the motion passed, reflecting the shrinking space for political freedoms and the growing control of the ruling party over the country’s political institutions.
Tadele’s case has attracted widespread condemnation from international human rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, who have called for his immediate release and urged the Ethiopian government to respect the rights of political prisoners and halt their mistreatment.
Tadele's imprisonment and mistreatment serve as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by political dissidents in Ethiopia, particularly those who challenge the government’s authority. His harsh treatment in prison underscores the government’s increasingly authoritarian approach to dealing with opposition.
Christian Tadele is currently in critical health and is reportedly near coma due to the abuse he has endured. His continued denial of adequate medical treatment further highlights the Ethiopian government’s brutal treatment of political prisoners.
Summary:
The treatment of Christian Tadele Tsegaye under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s regime is a tragic example of the government's use of brutal tactics to suppress political opposition and silence critics. His case underscores the growing crackdown on political freedoms in Ethiopia and the increasing risks faced by anyone who dares to challenge the ruling government. Tadele’s persecution is part of a broader pattern of human rights abuses, and his situation remains a grave concern for the future of democracy and freedom of speech in Ethiopia.
