Ethiopian government covered up extent of prison fire
Today, 20:51
A fire at a prison in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa was much more serious than the government at first wanted people to believe. There are 23 dead, and not one, as the government reported on Saturday.
The Kilinto prison is located in a suburb of the capital and also imprisons members of the opposition and journalists. The circumstances in which the fire broke out are unclear. The government says it has started an investigation.
A statement that was issued today states that 21 prisoners died from suffocation or that they were overrun. Two others were killed when they tried to escape, the government says. …
The government is accused of murder and mistreatment of opponents. Voices of Oromo and Amhara people, who constitute a majority of the population but feel disadvantaged, are heard more and more loudly.
