CPJ Calls for the Release of Jailed Ethiopian Journalists

The Committee to Protect Journalists is urging Ethiopian authorities to free two journalists who remain behind bars following the government's declaration of a six-month state of emergency after deadly fighting broke out in northern Amhara state. CPJ sub-Saharan Africa representative Muthoki Mumo told VOA’s Carol Van Dam other journalists were arrested ahead Thursday ahead of planned protests in Tigray.
