The Names of the Topmost Torturers in Maekelawi Investigative Centre

(Qeerroo News, Finfinnee, 10 October 2011) The Qeerroo Research and Study team reveals the names of the topmost torturers who tortured and subjected the Oromo, Ogaden and Amhara political prisoners who have been incarcerated in Maekelawi[i] investigation centre in connection with OLF, ONLFA and the Ginbot 7 Movement.

According to Qeerroo research team the following topmost tortures in the Maekelawi Investigation Centre are sadist individuals who enjoy the suffering of others and whose enthusiasm to subject others to suffering appropriately qualifies them in the category of the mentally sick patients.

         Name                              Position

1.  Getachew Aseffa-    Chief of Intelligence  

2.  Tadesse Meseret-    head of Maekelawi

3.  Yohannes –              inspector

4.  Tezerra Bogale –     inspector

5.  Moni Mengesha-     inspector

6.   Ketema –                inspector

7.  Seyid Ali –               inspector

8.  Tadesse Ayalew –  inspector

9.  Berhane –                inspector

10.              Belete –           inspector

11.              Gebre Medhin Nure – inspector

12.              Mulugeta – inspector

13.              Assefa Atikut vice inspector

14.              Reta Tesfaye- commander

Among these torturers, the ones who are notoriously famous for their boundless cruelty are Yohannes, Ketema, Berhane and Tezerra. For instance,Yohannes Ketema and Berhanu are the torturers who took different innocents to the Finfinne forest and subjected them to untold suffering.

According to the report revealed by the Qeerroo, most of the above torturers are the ones who hanged a plastic bottle filled with water unto male private organ thereby causing great pain and suffering to them.

According to the report these cruel individualists are not only torturing but also engaged in writing the alleged self-confessions of the prisoners and subsequently forced to sign them for the further self-incriminatory system in the country.

“Subsequently, these inspectors presented these allegedly voluntary self-confessions of the prisoners to the court thereby allowing the judges of the ethnicist regime to pass verdict ranging from life-time imprisonment to the death sentences,” says the report.

The Qeerroo team believes that the peace loving nations and compatriots would do all the best to see these notoriously cruel and ethnicist officials of the Central Investigation Office (CIO) would be brought to justice and be penalized for the suffering they have caused to innocent victims during the last years.

 [i] Maikelawi is the well-known detention and torturing center in Finfinnee, Ethiopia. It used to also be called Sostenga Police Tabiya (the Third Police Station) during Mengistu’s military regime. This is the place where Oromo sons and daughters experience the most atrocities committed by the EPRDF federal police, security services and anti-terrorism task force.

  3. Writing the names of those people who cruelly and inhumanly torture oromos and others is extremely important in our struggle. Let us know this barbarians so that they get their punishment when ever convenient time, place and condition comes. Keep it up!!

  4. Wow, what a great Job. Pin pointing out criminals is a very important step to bring them to justice when TPLF is removed from its a-quarter-of-a-century rule. But how long are we gonna endure the tortures of these barbarian criminals? How long do we remain mentioning the attrocities commited by these thugs? In my opinion, these guys are dancing on us because we let them to do so. We are divided, and well situated for them to do whatever they want to do on our peace loving people. A divided struggle will lead us no where. Lets unite and get ride of them.

    Peace loving Ethiopians will come out victorious and will prevail for ever.
    Death to TPLF and its accompliences !!!!!

  5. Continue the research to identify Woyane intelligence agents who expose oromo nationalsts specially at:
    – Educational institutions
    – other government organizations

  6. I think the best solution is to ….. those individuals and so that others can learn from it. As Ethiopian, we must learn how to expose those who torture innocent civilians. There is no court, no justice and no fair trial in Ethiopia except the prison that is set by gangsters whom have been orchestration by Meles Zenawi. To me, this is the only solutions to this problems. Let campaign to general public in Ethiopia to reveal the name of these individuals in the society, their pictures, their families, locations, and their rout to work. For now, every one is being known as a government employee without doubting that is their duty is. We must work on this. When they come into general society, they look like ordinary people but their assigned daily job is not inhumane but it is a heinous crime against their citizens. Let reveal their identities even more so that every one knows them.
