Meskerem Abera during Ethio Nikat political news analyses.[1] Third arrest in a year (as of April 9, 2023).[2]

This is a list of journalists and activists detained in Ethiopia in 2023.[2][3] CPJ[4] reported that in April 2023 alone, 47 human rights organizations made calls on the government of Ethiopia (Abiy Ahmed Ali) to end internet shut downs and digital communications access.

The current Oromo-led[5] Prosperity Party continued its crackdown against ethnic Amhara and related public defenders in 2023. Various arrests of oppositions and media have already been reported since the government came to power in 2018, and condemned by various international groups.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Most of these detentions and arbitrary arrests are reported as part of government crackdowns.[2][13][14] Those still imprisoned prior to 2023 and still detained are also listed in a separately table.

Previous arbitrary arrests by the TPLF-dominated[15] EPRDF parties were criticized for abusing the Anti-terrorism Proclamation (ATP) law to limit freedom of the press, silence voices, and persecute members of perceived opponents.[16][17][18] Similarly, most of the charges imposed against the 2023 detainees by the Prosperity Party regime are also ATP-related.

Definitions[edit]

Tewodros Asfaw during Ethio Selam political news analyses.[19] Second arrest in the same year (as of April 13, 2023).[2]

Reactions[edit]

Amnesty International published a report calling on the government to respect the right to peaceful protest and immediately release detained media staff.[24] The report emphasized that journalists and media workers need to do their work without threat, intimidation and harassment.[25]

Committee to Protect Journalists: Published a series of reports with details of arbitrary arrests of ethnic Amhara journalists and activists, and called for immediate releases.[4][7][14][26]

Ethiopia Human Rights Council: Listed the names of detainees and condemned the mass arrests of media groups and public defenders.[27]

Ethiopian Human Rights Defenders Center (EHRDC): the group called on the Ethiopian government to the immediate release of journalists and to stop the restriction of access to the free flow of information.[28]
