"A fourth journalist has been missing for a week; his family fears he is in state custody," the rights group added in a statement, calling for Ethiopia to immediately release the detained journalists. More than 11,000 people have been arrested since the start of the state of emergency, according to government figures. TV journalist Abdi Gada, who was unemployed at the time of his disappearance, has not been seen since November 9. The two arrested bloggers are Befekadu Hailu and Natnael Feleke, whose Zone 9 group has written about political repression, corruption and social injustice. Ethiopia ranked fourth on the CPJ's list of the 10 most censored countries in 2014, and is the third-worst jailer of journalists in Africa, according to the group's "prison census".
