Court Update: Yohannes Buayalew and Journalist Dawit Begashaw

The Federal High Court has issued a ruling regarding the detention conditions of Ato Yohannes Buayalew and journalist Dawit Begashaw. The court ordered that journalist Dawit Begashaw be transferred from the Kaliti 'Tanker' facility to the Aba Samuel prison to ensure his human rights are upheld, a move Dawit accepted. Meanwhile, the court rejected a request by the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission for an additional 15 days to investigate the case of Ato Yohannes Buayalew. Instead, the court ordered the prosecutor to investigate the matter and report back next Tuesday. Ato Yohannes had objected to the delay, citing that he has been held in a narrow, dark, and isolated space for a month, which is affecting his health.
