The Oromia Human Rights and Justice Council (OHRJC) is a non-political and non-sectarian organization which works to raise awareness of human rights violations in Ethiopia and neighboring countries in the Horn of Africa. The OHRJC monitors and gathers first hand and credible information from victims, relatives of victims, eyewitness, and other sources including government’s own documents publish this report.

 

In the name of fighting rebel groups, non-violence civic organizations, and political parties, the Ethiopian government continues to subject civilians to detention, torture, disappearance, and extra judicial killings.

 

Often the Ethiopian government launches attack on OLF (Oromo Liberation Front) bases in different parts of the country and commits serious human rights violations against civilians. Oromia Human Rights and Justice Council (OHRJC) has documented 159 arrests, 3 extra judicial killings, and 4 disappearances in the month of September in all parts of Oromia. The following table shows the severity of the situations. Almost all of the people listed below are being detained for allegedly supporting OLF, feeding the OLF army or simply for demanding their basic human rights. The OHRJC believes that the Ethiopian government is committing against civilians what amounts to war crime and crime against humanity.
