Political Detentions & Killings in Ethiopia 2008-2010 (Oromia Support Group)
Ten Ethiopian federal security police went to Commercial Bank, where Wabe was a lawyer, and forced him to accompany them to his home in Saris. At least one other employee was also arrested from Commercial Bank. They spent 4 hours searching Wabe’s house, without permission from the court. They confiscated all his photographs, several personal documents, a computer, DVDs, and a scanner. After they searched his house, the police took Wabe to Maikelawi Prison in Addis Ababa. His photograph was broadcast on the government run Ethiopian Television along with several other detainees on November 6. . . . All of those shown on Ethiopian Television were accused of being leaders of OLF who they say are organizing terrorist activities against the present government of Ethiopia. Wabe has no history of illegal activities in Ethiopia. However, he refused to join the OPDO.
