Addis Abeba — The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has called for immediate response to the dire human rights situation of thousands of displaced civilians from Tigray and bordering Amhara regional states who were recently transferred from Jarre camp in South Wollo zone in Amhara region, to the Awash seven federal police training center. The Commission said their rights to movement need to be respected. They were sheltered in Jarre camp for the past several months, where they endured severe human rights abuses. It also urged that medical services should be provided in a way that takes into account the needs of evacuees who need special support. It is still expecting that the concerned officials will arrange the visit by the Commission as soon as possible, it added.
