Missing OLF leaders. Left: Kennasa Ayana, who “cannot walk due to ailments sustained after he was detained”. “Such irresponsible and inhumane treatment of detainees who need close medical attention reveals the blatant human rights abuses by the government,” the party said today. The report confirmed that many OLF leaders and members are “illegally detained” and were subjected to abuse. The OLF has been repeatedly demanding the release of its leaders since they were imprisoned in 2019, and at times accusing the police of torturing them while in detention.
