No one is Above the Law!
The ongoing issue of unnecessary and excessive use of force, including incidents of police brutality and mistreatment during detention, continues to be troubling. According to a report by the Reporter news in 2023, 346 cases of torture or inhuman treatment were documented, with the most frequent occurrences reported in Addis Ababa and the Somali region. Such actions contradict Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which prohibits torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment. As a signatory to international conventions, the Ethiopian government is obligated to uphold these standards.
