Australia’s Oromo people rally in Canberra, Australia
PRESS RELEASE
Rally starts at Parliament Drive in Canberra on Monday 2nd June at 10am
More
than 400 Oromo across Victoria, NSW, QLD, TAS, SA and WA will be
gathering at Canberra’s Parliament house in a bid to expose the
Ethiopian government’s recent human rights violations dubbed “Oromo
Protests”. Since April 25, leaked photographs and videos show Ethiopian
security forces shooting live ammunition at unarmed students in
universities across Oromia. Reports of 85 students are confirmed as
dead, 500 protestors wounded and over 5000 people detained in unknown
camp locations as the Ethiopian government restriction of public media
is in full force.
In response, more than 30 international cities including Washington,
Oslo, Tel Aviv and London have staged mass peace protests, picking up
interest globally and trending heavily on social media. US Congress
members have also released legislature on May 9 to publicly condemn the
violence perpetrated by the Ethiopian government against its people as
well as publicly acknowledge and urge the Ethiopian government to
respect human rights and democratic processes.
