Police Given 10 more Days to 'Investigate' Ethiopian journalists, bloggers under custody: AddisStandard

TPLF Arrests Facebook and Twitter!: Meles Zenawi is running Ethiopia from his grave

Attention: JUSTICE has been crucified for Nth times in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa early this afternoon by TPLF, accusing the most priceless next generation of activists who have no other political, economical or other agenda other than being a voice to millions of voiceless Ethiopians. This party has done it several times over the last two decades with impunity and yet the only thing its western backers are doing is, issuing countless statements saying how they are concerned about the situation. Such statements has never brought any meaningful changes and will never unless EU and the US put a pressure on the regime to stop its madness against tens of thousands of innocent Ethiopians across the country.
It gives me shivers down my spine when I think of TPLF mafiosi who are trying to connect Zone9Bloggers and journalists with the recent unrest in Ethiopia. Here is how Mahlet Fasil of AddisStandard did the reportage about today's kangaroo court  hearings where TPLF cadres were masquerading as prosecutors, police, witnesses and of course judges.


A court in Addis Abeba today granted the police investigating the case of three independent journalists and six bloggers ten more days before

I'm shocked, NOT one bit because the founder and managing editor of this English weekly has been one of the untouchables and favorite of the regime in Ethiopia for obvious reasons. He has never been to jail and immune to be locked up in either Maekelawi or other notorious prisons of Ethiopia where tens of thousands of innocent citizens including Tesfalem Woldeyes - a renown freelancer and one of his long time contributors, are being incarcerated for exercising their constitutional and birth rights. Tamrat will be judged by history one day for his blunder he told VOA.   
Tamrat Gebregiorgis, the managing editor of the English weekly newspaper Fortune, said that the truth is somewhere in the middle when it comes to the perception that the Ethiopian government
