Newspaper Article
Ethiopian Journalists Stand in Solidarity with Press Freedom, Denounce Increasing Crackdown
2022
Overview
\"For decades, Ethiopia had carved a reputation for itself as one of the world's top jailers of journalists due to institutional and systemic crackdowns on critical voices and a thin tolerance for any forms of dissent. Ethiopia's infamous anti-terror proclamation, passed into law in 2009, paved the way for journalists to be charged with treason, terrorism, and be sentenced to life in prison. This led to scores of Ethiopian journalists being arrested or forced into exile and served as a pretext to shut down broadcast and print outlets which didn't cater to pro-government narratives. At no time in its modern history had an Ethiopian independent press been allowed to thrive.\" (AllAfrica.com) In this open letter discussing Ethiopia's lack of press freedoms, more than 40 Ethiopian journalists and media professionals \"wholeheartedly condemn all persecution of fellow journalists and media personnel in Ethiopia, targeted simply for doing their jobs.\"
