Today’s additional include Prof. Mesfin and Ato Bedru.<br />The court also ruled against all the civic society members except the Ato Kassahun (Teachers’ Association) in which all the charges have been dropped for him as of today.<br />The court also dropped the first charge against the diaspora “defendants” including Ato Berhane, Tamagne, Solomon and others charged in absentia. Some diaspora charges were discontinued till they are upperhandded.<br />The only thing left is to make a ruling for the remaining few journalists, which is set to proceed on Monday.<br />Too sad the international media is keeping silent of this outrageous event taking place in Ethiopia.Temelkatchnoreply@blogger.com
