Ethiopian state-appointed human rights body has called for the release of 16 journalists and media personnel after new arrests were made recently in the capital of Addis Ababa and the restive region of Amhara.

Press watchdogs and rights groups say Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government is increasingly intimidating the media and harassing opponents as it seeks to quell unrest in regions. Ethiopian authorities have been cracking down in Amhara and Oromiya regions recently, accusing media personnel of siding with rebels.

Last week, Amhara authorities arrested five journalists of media outlet Ashara in a move thought linked to their coverage of a volunteer militia known as Fano. Amhara authorities also arrested four other US-based online outlet Nisir International Broadcasting employees n the same day. “No claim about the alleged offence committed through media justifies violation of the newly adopted media law which clearly prohibits pre-trial detention of persons charged with committing an offence through the media.”, Bekele said in a statement.
