Dr Berhanu Nega's wife turned away from Qaliti

Dr Nardos Minase, the wife of Addis Ababa mayor-elect, Dr Berhanu Nega, was prevented from visiting her husband yesterday at the Qaliti prison where he is detained.

Dr Nardos was told that she needs Kebele ID, even though she explained to the prison authorities that as a non-citizen she is allowed to have only a Ministry of Foreign Affairs-issued ID.
