ETHIOPIA: Arrests and Detentions of Oromo Students Continued
HRLHA – Press Release
August 27, 2014
While fresh arrests and detentions, kidnappings and disappearances of
Oromo nationals have continued in different parts of the regional state
of Oromo following the April-May crackdown of peaceful demonstrators, court rulings
over the cases of some of the earlier detainees by courts of the
regional state are being rejected by political agents of the governing
TPLF/EPRDF Party. The renewed violence by government forces against
Oromo nationals started particularly following what was termed as
“Lenjii Siyaasaa” (literally meaning “political training) that has
targeted Oromo Students of higher educational institutions and has been
going on in the past two weeks in different parts of Oromia.
