Addis Abeba — The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) urged "for the immediate disclosure" of the whereabouts of Kibrom Worku and Tamerat Negera, two journalists who are missing after they were taken to police custody. Kibrom Worku, the editor and head of the news department of Ahadu Radio and TV remained in detention after court ordered his release on November 12, 2021. The police told a court in Addis Abeba that Kibrom was released on November 18 following a court order. His wife Selam Belay told Addis Standard that their repeated attempts to locate him since his arrest were futile. The Commission further said that it was monitoring the situation of media personnel Kibrom Worku, Tamrat Negera, Meaza Mohammed and Eyasped Tesfaye who are currently in detention.
