Arbitrary Killings and Detentions of Civilians are Marks of Dictatorial Regimes
\nOLF Press Release
\nSeptember29, 2022
\nIllegal detention and brutal and arbitrary killings by the Property Party regime in Ethiopia have continued
\nunabated since our last press release on a similar case.
\nThe regime has intensified brutal killings of innocent people detained in several prison houses and police stations
\nin Oromiya. A teacher named Talilaa Girma, born in Warra Jarso District of North Shewa Zone went to visit his
\nwife and children who live in Beddele, South West Oromia. He was captured without a court warrant at Dapho
\nHanna District. On September 3 2022, under cover of darkness, the regime\u2019s police took him away from the police
\nstation and killed him at a place called 77. Besides, sixteen innocent civilians were killed in the same way.
\nIn Horro Guduru Zone, Shambu town, on September 28 2022, the regime\u2019s security forces again took eight people
\nfrom the prison and assassinated them cold-bloodedly. People named Gaddisa Fiyyisa, Dessalegn Magarsaa (father
\nof two children, and Wase were those whose names are identified for the moment.
\nToday, September 29 2022, in Burrayu town, just on the outskirts of Finfinnee, the regime\u2019s police took Mr
\nAlemayew Diro, a father of 7 children and head of the OLF Legal and Discipline Committee, to prison houses.
\nEarlier, Mr Alemayew was detained several times by the regime security forces without trespasses. He is known
\nfor peacefully advocating for Oromo causes and has been an active member of the OLF. Mr. Alelmayehu\u2019s mother
\npassed recently and he was on mourning. We demand the immediate release of this innocent citizen whose further
\ncustody is detrimental to his family and the Oromo.
\nLast week, the regime\u2019s security forces also arrested Prf. Gammachu Megarsa (later released), a renowned
\nresearcher and public intellectual. Such an irresponsible act was meant to intimidate and harass Oromo intellectuals
\nwho voiced their concerns against the regime\u2019s human right violation, lack of level-field political space, and the
\never-increasing insecurity and deterioration of peace, which inevitably leads to a worsened political and
\nhumanitarian disaster.
\nAnother ugly face of the current action of the regime is that they are massively taking detained young civilians from
\nthe prison houses and police stations to the military training camps. After one or two weeks of shallow training,
\nthey take them to the war front in the north and Oromiya. Underaged school boys and girls are also victims of this
\nbrutality. It is like playing a game with the lives of innocent young men and women and huge crises for the nation.
\nThe brutal killings of people, who are supposed to be under legal protection when they are in detention, is an
\nincalculable breach of all national and international humanitarian laws that all peace-loving individuals and
\norganizations should condemn and take legal action against the regime that sponsors these terror acts. We, therefore,
\ncall upon the international community to act responsibly. In particular the current desperate actions of the regime
\nand the trend in Ethiopia in general should be concern to all to as downward slide are right at the door of everyone.
\nWe all call upon the Oromo to stand against such inhumanity in all means available to them.
