Human Rights Violations in Sidama Escalating

New
August 31 2012-Arrest and abduction have been commonplace occurrences in Sidamaland and it has been worsened since last June when Sidama public pressed the demand of regional Self adminstration right. Since then, many innocent Sidamas are languishing in jails illegally and whereabouts of many are unknown. Fabricated charges are used against those who are imprisoned as means to lock them up indefinitely. For instance, Ougamo Hanaga, who is an employee of Save the Children Awassa branch, made the following comment on facebook about the ordeal of innocent Sidamas and he was arrested few days later. He then charged with terrorism under the country's antiterrorism law without hard evidence that links him to terrorism.
