A call to save lives of Amhara detainees that are tortured and denied medical treatment by the regime in Ethiopia

GPE CALL TO ACTION!

Status: Ongoing
January 05, 2025

GPE asserts that the continuous blow the regime is facing from the Amhara resistance in general and Fanos (an Amhara armed resistance that was born out of resisting the genocide against Amharas in Ethiopia) in particular, has frustrated the regime to the point of panic where they may be forced to release hundreds of thousands of ethnic Amharas they targeted and detained across the three types of establishments described above. The regime understands the mistreatment, conditions and the cruelty detainees faced are evidence towards the genocide it is conducting against Amharas. Quite recently, the regime has started directly assassinating successful Amhara businessmen, artists, and persons of notable achievement without even bothering to detain them or abducting them. Together with the strategic and design-based elimination of key detainees these new strings of assassination of Amharas is an indication of yet a new level of severe targeting Amharas are facing by the regime in Ethiopia. The international community needs to truly act as quick as possible to save the lives of these targeted Amharas. The kill-off plan is underway as the regime is acting in a mindset of destroying evidence, therefore unless urgent and decisive pressure is applied on the rogue and genocidal government in Ethiopia a disaster the international community vowed not to witness with the ‘Never Again’ motto will realize in Ethiopia all over again.

Specific recommendations for immediate action

1. Immediate intervention to get Hon. Christian Tadele and Hon. Yohannes Boyalew released so that they get the urgent medical care they need to save their lives.
2. Immediate call to get all Amhara abductees, detainees and prisoners who are targeted just for their identity to be released unconditionally.
3. Immediate call to get all Abductees, detainees and prisoners who are targeted either because they tried to expose the genocide against Amharas or because they tried to oppose all the genocidal and tyrannical actions of the regime in Ethiopia.

Recommendations to avert the impending State-led crises in Ethiopia

4. Recognize that an active coordinated and planned targeting is ongoing against Amharas in Ethiopia. This will pave the way so the international community can investigate about the active genocide against Amharas, which we at the GPE already determined to be under way based on the extensive data, evidence and testimony we gathered over the past 5 years.
5. Put direct political pressure on the regime to stop the currently ongoing war on Amhara. Primarily:
   5.1 Targeted sanctions against all the major political leaders of the regime in Ethiopia including barring them from travel and freezing their financial assets oversees.
   5.2 Targeted sanctions against all military officials that are involved with war crimes, genocidal attacks and performed large scale illegal profiling, abduction and detention of ethnic Amharas and others solely based on their identity.
   5.3 Put political pressure on nations including The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iran, China, and Turkey that are providing armed drones which are being used against civilian targets to the regime in Ethiopia, so they cease to provide deadly support to the ongoing genocide in Ethiopia.

Note:
Amhara detainees- throughout the report the term “detainees” refer to those that are detained either: 1. with no due process of law and are abducted and held just for their identity, 2. or those held with trumped up charges, 3. or those who are undergoing a seemingly legal process, when in reality their case is being sabotaged by the regime’s influence on the legal system. This includes the court presenting paid off and scripted witnesses against the ethnically targeted detainees.
