Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — Meles Zenawi’s gunmen today have arrested the editor-in-chief of the Addis Ababa-based weekly Awramba Times, Fitsum Mamo, and senior reporter Elias Gebru, in connection with news coverage on Tuesday’s edition about Ginbot 7 suspects.
Five days ago, Judge Assefa Abraha, the central judge who is conducting the trial of Ginbot 7 suspects, had warned Elias Gebru about the newspapers reports on the case.
Awramba Times staff doesn’t know where Elias and Fitsum are being detained.
