By Staff reporterADDIS ABABA – Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) disclosed here that people detained without trial have been tortured and abused in TPLF-captured Wolkait-Tegede Setit-Humera Zone of Amhara Regional State. EHRC said that as the Zonal administration of Wolkait-Tegede Setit-Humera has become dysfunctional following the disruption of peace and security in the area, people have been suffering from imprisonment without due process of law. Though a new Zonal administration has been in place since 2021, courts and prosecutor’s offices have not yet been opened and gone operational in the area, EHRC said. EHRC has urged the Federal Government to help respect human rights and put an end to the violation of justice. Lack of courts and prosecutor’s services have been a reality in the TPLF-held Wolkait-Tegede Setit-Humera Zone of Amhara Regional State, according to EHRC.
