Dr merera interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxFyYMfqPSo
Currently
there is no rule of law in Ethiopia and there is no independent
judiciary system that one can get fair justice or due process of law
where one can prove one’s innocence. The TPLF government is the
prosecutor, the witness, the judge and the jury. An accusation by
TPLF cadres is tantamount to a sentence by a court. Besides, The TPLF
government is doing its best to clear every
single opposition more than ever by enacting suitable instrument
(law) in the name of ‘anti-terrorism’ and
the new
controversial approval of licence to kill for NISS
that already started to be
exercised since june
2013.
The government using this potent instrument is cracking down on
political dissent, including peaceful political demonstrations and
public criticisms of government policy that are deemed supportive of
armed opposition activity. The currently working law permits
long-term imprisonment and even the death penalty for "crimes"
that bear no resemblance, under any credible definition, to
terrorism. It also deprives defendants of the right to be presumed
innocent, and of protections against use of evidence obtained through
torture. Most importantly The Proclamation is working in the context
of concerns over political repression, suppression of freedom of
speech and independent civil society, the impunity conferred on
security forces, Right now, Individuals are sent to long time and
life imprisonment, and given death penalty without any evidence
simply because they stood for their basic human right.
