Ethiopia: EFJA Cites International Support as Key to Improving Press Freedom

press release

It has been six years since EFJA was illegally suspended by Ethiopia's dictatorial government and prevented from carrying out its activities; EFJA's office was robbed and closed by the government. Almost all members of the association have gone into exile to avoid danger, and a few brave members who remain in the country are paying great sacrifices.

We have appreciated the protests and condemnations made by IFEX members against the undemocratic and repressive measure being taken by the Ethiopian government against EFJA.
