(Qeerroo, Adaamaa, 05 February 2012) The United Nations criticized the Ethiopian government’s use of an anti-terrorism law to curb freedom of expression by jailing opposition politicians and reporters critical of the state.

According to Bloomberg report in December, two Swedish journalists were sentenced to 11 years each by an Ethiopian court for supporting terrorism after being captured with a banned rebel group.

An exiled journalist, two writers, a politician and one other individual, all from Ethiopia, were given terms ranging from 14 years to life last week for plotting terror acts.

Journalists “should not face criminal proceedings for carrying out their legitimate work, let alone be severely punished,” Frank La Rue, UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression, said in a statement posted on the website of the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Ethiopia holds journalists accountable when they commit crimes, Communications Minister Bereket Simon said.

“Ethiopia clearly differentiates between freedom of expression and terrorism,” he said in a phone interview from the capital, Addis Ababa, today. “This is simply a very wrong defense of foreign journalists who have been caught red-handed when assisting terrorists.”

Ethiopia was the third-largest recipient of humanitarian aid in the world in 2009, receiving $3.8 billion, according to Global Humanitarian Assistance, the Wells, England-based research group. There are 26 UN agencies operating in Ethiopia, according to the Addis Ababa-based Development Assistance Group, which represents Ethiopia’s donors.

Terror Acts

Next month, 24 people including government opponents, exiled journalists and dissident writer Eskinder Nega, begin their defense of charges of committing terror acts under the Horn of Africa nation’s 2009 law.

“Journalists, bloggers and others advocating for increased respect for human rights should not be subject to pressure for the mere fact that their views are not in alignment with those of the government,” Margaret Sekaggya, who speaks for the UN on behalf of human rights defenders, said in the statement.

Critics are applying “double standards” as they do not claim freedom of expression is endangered when journalists are prosecuted in the West, according to Bereket.

Five human-rights groups, including London-based Amnesty International and New York-based Human Rights Watch, said a court case today in Addis Ababa threatens the “last remaining human rights monitoring NGO in Ethiopia.” The Addis Ababa-based Human Rights Council is trying to get a decision to freeze its funding reversed, the group said yesterday.

In 2009, Ethiopia banned charities working on human rights from receiving more than 10 percent of their funding from abroad.

 (ቄሮ ዘገባ፤ ፍንፊኔ፤  05 የካቲት 2012)  የኢትዮጵያ መምህራን ማኅበር (ኢመማ) ለመንግሥት ያቀረበው የደመወዝ ጭማሪ ጥያቄ ምላሽ ባለማግኘቱ አስቸኳይ ጠቅላላ ጉባዔ ለመጥራት ተቃርቧል፡፡

ከጥቅምት 3 እስከ 5 ቀን 2004 ዓ.ም. የተካሄደው የኢመማ መደበኛ ምክር ቤት ስለመምህራን የደረጃ ከፍታ፣ ደመወዝና ተፈላጊ ችሎታ በሚመለከት ውይይት ካደረገ በኋላ የደመወዝ ጭማሪ ጥያቄ ያቀረበ ሲሆን፣ እስከ ጥር 30 ቀን 2004 ዓ.ም. ድረስ ጥያቄው ምላሽ ካላገኘ አስቸኳይ ጠቅላላ ጉባዔ እንዲጠራ ወስኖ ነበር፡፡

በመላው አገሪቱ 350 ሺሕ አባላት ያሉት የኢትዮጵያ መምህራን ማኅበር የሲቪል ሰርቪስ ሚኒስቴር ማኅበሩ ላቀረበው ጥያቄ እስከ ጥር 30 ቀን ምላሽ ካልሰጠ መደበኛ ምክር ቤቱ በወሰነው ውሳኔ መሠረት አስቸኳይ ጉባዔ ይጠራል፡፡

ምንጮቻችን እንደገለጹት ማኅበሩ ለመንግሥት ያቀረበው የደመወዝ ጭማሪ ጥያቄ ምላሽ ባለማግኘቱ ከጥር 30 በኋላ ሰላማዊ ሰልፍ ይጠራል፡፡

ማኅበሩ በወቅቱ ባወጣው ባለአሥር ነጥብ የአቋም መግለጫ መምህራን ለሚያቀርቡት የደመወዝ ስኬል ማስተካከያ ጥያቄ የሚሰጠው ምላሽ መጓተት በኑሯቸው ላይ እያሳደረው ያለው ተፅዕኖ በየጊዜው እየናረ የመጣው የመኖርያ ቤት ኪራይ ታክሎበት፣ በአሁኑ ጊዜ መቋቋም ከማይችሉበት ደረጃ ላይ መድረሱን ጠቁሞ፣ ችግሩን ለመፍታት የተጀመረው እንቅስቃሴ እየታየበት ያለው መጓተት ተወግዶ መቋጫ የሚያገኝበትና መምህራኑን ተጠቃሚ የሚያደርግ ተግባራዊ እንቅስቃሴ እንዲጀመር፣ ጉዳዩ የሚመለከተው የመንግሥት አካል ተቋማዊ ኃላፊነቱን እንዲወጣ ጠይቆ ነበር፡፡

ምንጮቻችን እንደገለጹት ይህ የማኅበሩ አቋም መግለጫ ለሁሉም ክልል ማኅበራት ተልኮ በየትምህርት ቤቱ ማስታወቂያ ሰሌዳ ላይ እንዲለጠፍ መደረጉን ከምንጮቻችን ለመረዳት ችለናል፡፡

የኢትዮጵያ መምህራን ማኅበር ለመንግሥት ያቀረበው የደመወዝ ጭማሪ ጥያቄ ሲጓተት ይህ የመጀመሪያ ጊዜ አይደለም፡፡ በጥር 2003 ዓ.ም. ለመንግሥት ሠራተኞች የተደረገው ጭማሪ ቀደም ሲል ከማኅበሩ የቀረበውን ጥናት በአግባቡ ያላገናዘበ መሆኑን በመጥቀስ፣ የሲቪል ሰርቪስ ሚኒስትር አቶ ጁነዲን ሳዶ በተገኙበት የካቲት 26 ቀን 2003 ዓ.ም. የኢትዮጵያ መምህራን ማኅበር አስቸኳይ የምክር ቤት ስብሰባ ተካሂዶ ጭማሪውን በመገምገም፣ የከፍተኛ ትምህርት መምህራንን የደረጃ ከፍታ ጨምሮ ችግሩ መፍትሔ እንዲያገኝ ጠይቆ ነበር፡፡

ይህንኑ የማኅበሩን ጥያቄ መነሻ በማድረግ ማኅበሩ የተወከለበት ኮሚቴ ተቋቁሞ ጉዳዩ ሲታይ ቢቆይም ጥናቱ ተጠናቆ ሊገለጽ አልቻለም፡፡

ምንጮቻችን እንደገለጹት፣ መንግሥት እስከ ጥር 30 ድረስ ለቀረበለት የደመወዝ ጭማሪ ምላሽ ካልሰጠ ማኅበሩ በሚጠራው አስቸኳይ ጠቅላላ ጉባዔ በመንግሥት ላይ ተፅዕኖ የሚያሳድር ውሳኔ ሊያስተላልፍ ይችላል፡፡

የኢትዮጵያ መምህራን ማኅበር ፕሬዚዳንት አቶ ዮሐንስ በንቲ በበኩላቸው፣ ማኅበሩ አሁንም ከመንግሥት ጋር እየተወያየ መሆኑን ገልጸዋል፡፡

“ጥያቄያችሁ ምላሽ ካላገኘ ምን ዓይነት ዕርምጃ ለመውሰድ አስባችኋል?” በሚል ላቀረብንላቸው ጥያቄ “ምን ማድረግ እንዳለብን የሚወስነው ጉባዔው ነው” የሚል ምላሽ ሰጥተዋል፡፡ ከዚህ ጋር በተያያዘ የገዢው ፓርቲ ኢሕአዴግ ኃላፊዎች አባል የሆኑ መምህራንን ባለፈው ቅዳሜ ሰብስበው ማነጋገራቸው ተሰምቷል፡፡

ምንጮቻችን እንደገለጹት ጉዳዩ የሚመለከተው  የመምህራን ማኅበሩ ያቀረበው የደመወዝ ጥያቄ ተገቢ ቢሆንም፣ “ጥያቄያችን ምላሽ ካላገኘ ከጥር 30 በኋላ ሰላማዊ ሰልፍ እናካሂዳለን፤ ሥራ እናቆማለን፤” የሚለው የተወሰኑ መምህራን አስተሳሰብ ትክክል አለመሆኑን የገዢው ፓርቲ ኢሕአዴግ ኃላፊዎች አባል የሆኑ መምህራን ለባለሥልጣናቱ አሳስበዋል፡፡
