#Ethiopia #LHR # Statement
ድርጅታችን "የሕግ ባለሙያዎች ለሰብዓዊ መብቶች" በአዋጅ ቁጥር 1113/2011 ዓ.ም. መሠረት በምዝገባ ቁጥር 4113 መስከረም 09 2012 ዓ.ም. ዳግም ተመዝግቦ በመንቀሳቀስ ላይ ያለ ሀገር በቀል ሲቪል ማህበር ሲሆን:
ከተቋቋመበት ጊዜ ጀምሮ ከፖለቲካ ነፃና ገለልተኛ ሆኖ በሀገራችን የሰብዓዊ መብቶች እንዲከበሩ ዓላማው አድርጎ በርካታ ሥራዎችን ከኢትዮጵያ ሰብዓዊ መብቶች ኮሚሽን፣ ከፌደራልና ክልል አስፈጻሚ አካላት እና ከሌሎች ሲቪል ማህበራት ጋር በመተባበር ሲያከናውን ቆይቷል።
ሆኖም ከሲቪል ማህበረሰብ ድርጅቶች ባለሥልጣን ሕዳር 12/2017 ዓ.ም. በተጻፈ ደብዳቤ ድርጅቱ “ከፖለቲካ ገለልተኛ ሆኖ መስራት ሲገባው ከዓላማው ውጭ በመንቀሳቀስ የአገርና የህዝብ ጥቅምን የሚጎዳ ተግባራት ላይ በመሰማራቱ..." በሚል ከማንኛውም የሥራ እንቅስቃሴ የታገደ መሆኑን ገልጾልናል።
ባለሥልጣኑ ማህበራችን ተሰማራበት በማለት በደብዳቤው ላይ የጠቀሰው አባባል ማህበራችንን የማይገልጽ እና የማይመለከት መሆኑን በአፅንኦት እየገለፅን የተጣለብን ዕግድ እንዲነሳ ለማድረግና ወደ መደበኛ ሥራችን ለመመለስ ሕጋዊ ሂደቶችን የምንከተል መሆኑን እናሳውቃለን።
Our organization, Lawyers for Human Rights, is a civil society entity duly re-registered under Proclamation No. 1113/2011 on September 20, 2019. Since its inception, we have maintained our independence and political neutrality, actively collaborating with the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, federal and regional government bodies, and other civil society organizations to promote human rights in our country.
However, on November 21, 2024, the FDRE Authority for Civil Society Organizations issued a letter stating that our organization had been suspended from all activities for allegedly 'acting without political neutrality and beyond its purpose and engaging in actions harmful to the country’s interests and public welfare.’
We wish to clarify that the claims outlined in the letter do not accurately reflect our organization's activities. We are committed to following the legal process to challenge the suspension and resume our normal operations.
