(Qeerroo Reports, Finfinnee, July 28^th 2011)

Wayyane-Ethiopian government has handed 20 Oromo civilians to the government federal court in alleged charges. These civilians were accused of an alleged suspicious with OLF membership and the reason of “conspiracy to combat against EPRDF Ethiopia’s government.” The wayyane-Ethiopian government prosecutor opened court file (No 555/03) under the name of Getinet Gemechu.  These accusations are based on the ‘anti-terrorist law’ under number 329(1) A, 38(1) and 24 which was created and fashioned by the TPLF government to accuse and lay blame on opposition parties like Oromo Liberation Front. The news regarding this court hearing was broadcasted on July 22^nd 2011 on ‘Bariisaa’ news letter and other private gazettes.

The alleged verdicts opened on these civilians were the following:

1^st – Membership with anti-government political organisations, Oromo Liberation Front

2^nd – Organising and mobilising members under the OLF

3^rd – Information exchange with the OLF

4^th – Supporting OLF with material and financial matters

5^th – Collaborating with the OLF who has an “objective to threat the wayyane-Ethiopian government.”

The civilians presented their defensive statements to the court through their solicitor. However, the prosecutor alleged the statement was wrong and bucked up the judge to hand sentence on these civilians. The Ethiopian government prosecutor labelled this alleged accusation as “high level crime.”

Listening to both parties on July 22^nd 2011, the judge at the federal court has agreed to take appointment for further investigation. Off the hearing of the day, one of the civilians has been released from prison by free pardon on November 6, 2008. Hence, the judge understood this individual will not be accused twice on the same charges he was accused for. The judge believed and decided all the documents related to the free pardon of this individual’s case must be presented to the court on the next appointment. The other individual has also been released free from prison previously by the Oromia Supreme Court. As the judgment by Oromia Supreme Court was made by Oromo language, the judge believed and decided the documents of his decision by Oromia Supreme Court must be translated to Amharic and presented to the court on the next appointment. The judge has scheduled the next appointment on August 4^th 2011.

In addition, in many remote Oromia places where we couldn’t reach for the reports, there are vast number of Oromo farmers, workers and youths being taken to prison by TPLF securities. The activists of Qeerroo pro-democracy Oromo youths, farmers and workers intensified in all Oromia places. This intensified movement has distraught the wayyane-Ethiopian government.

The struggle shall continue! The oppressor will fall!
