Detained Kenyan Journalist Juma's Health Deteriorates in Ethiopia

Yassin Juma, who is detained at the Sostegna Police Station in Ethiopia, has reportedly developed health complications amid concerns over his legal representation. He is part of a group of over 30 people who were arrested in the aftermath of the assassination on Oromo musician Hachalu Hundessa in July. He is facing charges including incitement and involvement in violence, plotting to create ethnic violence and plotting to kill senior Ethiopian officials.
