On 5 and 6 December, security services in Addis Ababa arrested an
estimated 90 people during attempts to stage a demonstration by a
coalition of nine opposition political parties. The arrests are the
latest manifestation of the authorities’ hostility towards the political
opposition ahead of the general election scheduled for May 2015. The
Ethiopian authorities must ensure the immediate and unconditional
release of those arrested for peaceful participation in, or the
organization of, the demonstration, and all others imprisoned in
Ethiopia for the peaceful expression of their political opinion.
