Federal High Court Expresses Doubts About Eskinder Nega’s ConvictionEthiopia's highest court on Thursday delayed the appeal of journalist Eskinder Nega and opposition leader Andualem Arage by demanding that prosecutors justify their convictions. But the court gave its first indication Thursday that charges brought by prosecutors under the Anti-Terrorism Proclamation may not be that strong by demanding that prosecutors justify the June convictions. Journalist Eskinder Nega received an 18-year sentence, while opposition politician Andualem Arage is serving life in prison on terrorism-related charges. Freedom Now has been supporting Eskinder and brought his case before the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. “It seems to me that the court also is confounded by the charges against Eskinder and the other defendants,” Turner said.
