Scores of journalists in Ethiopia in recent years have been wrongfully imprisoned in efforts to stifle their reporting.
Authorities detained at least 92 media workers between 2019 and 2024 — a number on the rise as the government jails reporters covering the ongoing conflict in the country’s Amhara Region, doing so based on “links to rebel forces or [by] justifying their detention with state of emergency laws,” according to a 2024 report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
