Activist, co-founder of online media Ubuntu, Eyasped Tesfaye arrested at his family house



Another Eysaped’s family member who spoke to the BBC on condition of anonymity said security forces from Addis Abeba police searched Eyasped’s family home and eventually took him away ‘for questioning.’ 


The family member also testified that before they conducted the security forces stayed around the premises of Eyasped’s house for hours saying they were waiting for an order. 


This family member who insisted on remaining anonymous expressed their assumption that Eyasped’s arrest might have been in connection with the state of emergency. 


His mother on her part said, “ I could not demand a search warrant and  ask why our house was being searched due to the state of emergency.” She further disclosed that after several hours of searching, security forces confiscated Eyasped’s personal laptop and cell phone.
