After CPJ wrote a letter to Prime Minister Meles Zenawi expressing concern about the prisoners, sources said conditions improved somewhat. Email This BlogThis Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest. The two were not told why they had been moved to another prison, the sources said. Sisay had, of course, no quantitative or qualitative data to substantiate his hateful. Several sources said these prisoners were abused and that their visiting rights were severely curtailed. The commentator Sisay Agena responded to carefully crafted questions by the host Mesay Mekonnen who didn’t hide the bigotry of the 5 minute broadcast as he went about echoing politically charged unverifiable claims aimed at one ethnic group.

When the trial went into recess in August and September, CPJ received reports that Nega and Agena had been moved to the capital’s Karchele Prison, known for its harsh conditions. Prisoners complained that their conditions were difficult.

The delegation spoke with Nega, Fassil, Agena, and Yenealem, all of whom said they had been doing their jobs as journalists in criticizing the government. Abebe Gellaw, Sisay Agena and Messay Mekonnen discussed Meles Zenawi’s death Azeb Mesfin’s awkward telephone interview with ESAT TV Tamagne Beyene back on ESAT with Sisay Agena Dr. In March, a CPJ delegation was allowed to visit Kality Prison near Addis Ababa and meet with some of the jailed journalists. They were charged in December 2005 along with dozens of opposition leaders with conspiring to overthrow the government. In April, CPJ issued a special report, “Poison, Politics, and the Press,” outlining its findings. A CPJ analysis of evidence provided by the prosecution found that the journalists’ work was often antigovernment but did not constitute incitement to violence or genocide. The journalists refused to put up a defense, saying the charges were baseless and the proceedings politicized. Charges against the journalists included “outrage against the constitution and the constitutional order,” “impairment of the defensive power of the state,” and “attempted genocide.” Nega faces additional charges of “obstruction of the exercise of constitutional powers,” “inciting, organizing and leading armed rebellion against the government,” and “high treason.” He was charged as a leader of the CUD opposition party but has denied the accusation. The joint trial of these journalists and opposition leaders began in February, with most observers expecting it to last many months or even years.

The charges could bring death sentences upon conviction. They were charged in December 2005 along with dozens of opposition leaders with conspiring to overthrow the government. These editors and publishers of Amharic-language newspapers were arrested in a massive crackdown on the private press and opposition that followed antigovernment protests in the capital, Addis Ababa, in November 2005.
