Free Andargachew Tsige
URGENT ACTION ETHIOPIAN ACTIVIST AT RISK OF TORTURE Andargachew Tsige, an Ethiopian political activist in exile, appears to have been arrested in transit in Yemen on 24 June and forcibly returned to Ethiopia. He is at risk of torture and other ill-treatment. Andargachew Tsige is a British national of Ethiopian origin and Secretary-General of Ginbot 7, an outlawed Ethiopian opposition group. He disappeared on 24 June at Sana’a airport in Yemen, while in transit between the United Arab Emirates and Eritrea. He was forcefully taken to Ethiopia and is at high risk of torture and other ill-treatment in Ethiopia, where political detainees are frequently tortured in order to extract information and confessions. His incommunicado detention in an unknown location increases this risk.
