Hundreds Detained, Many Suffer Broken Arms and Legs
By Abraha Belai
ADDIS ABABA (Dec 7) – Senior opposition party leaders and three busloads of protesters were admitted to the 3rd Police Station on Saturday night, eye-witnesses said. The 3rd police station is adjacent to the infamous Maekelawi Prison in the capital.
Many of the arrested were limping with injuries from police beatings. Engineer Yilikal Getnet, chairman of Semayawi Party, reportedly suffered a broken hand.
Families and friends who tried to take food and clothing to the detainees at the 3rd Police Station and elsewhere, were turned back, without passing the essentials.
Other activists who suffered beatings were also being held at Kazanchis and Cherkos police stations.
