HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH WARNED US IN 2016 ABOUT TEDROS AND ETHOPIA AND WHAT THEY DID TO JOURNALISTS AND BLOGGERS

AND NOW THE WHO WANTS TO DO IT AGAIN. with TEDROS. Again. THIS HAPPENED DRY RUN IN ETHIOPIA

I want you to read the complaints against Tedros including Human Rights Watch’s statement before the EU in 2016. I have blogged this twice or more.

"Human Rights Situation in Ethiopia: Need for Stronger EU Action October 12, 2016

EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
Committee on Development Subcommittee on Human Rights Joint Debate

“The recent events were a long time in the making. They are the outcome of the government’s systematic and calculated suppression of fundamental rights and freedoms that have closed political space and left few opportunities for the peaceful expression of dissent.

Ethiopia is among Africa’s leading jailors of journalists, and there is little space for independent journalists to operate.

Ethiopian journalists and bloggers must choose between self-censorship, arrest, or living in exile.

Websites critical of the government are blocked, radio stations are regularly jammed during sensitive times, and those providing information to journalists are often targeted for arrest. At various times in the last three months, the government has blocked the internet completely in some locations, restricted access to social media, and jammed radio transmissions including German broadcaster Deustche Welle.

Bloggers have been arrested, and international journalists continue to report restrictions on access to the country. As we speak, the government is blocking access to the internet in many parts of Oromia.

Independent civil society groups face similar overwhelming obstruction. In 2009 the government passed the Charities and Societies Proclamation, which severely curtails the ability of nongovernmental organizations to work in areas of human rights and good governance.

The anti-terrorism law, passed in 2009, has been used to crack down on peaceful expressions of dissent. Many opposition politicians, journalists, and activists have been convicted under that journalists, and activists have been convicted under that law and sentenced to prison terms.

Courts have shown little independence in politically charged trials. There have also been serious restrictions on opposition political parties, which led to the ruling coalition in the May 2015 election to win 100 percent of the seats in the federal and regional parliaments, despite evident anti-government feelings in much of the country, as the protests indicate.

The authorities restrict public protests with routine denial of permits and arrests of real or perceived protest organizers. Fear of opposing the government has historically kept people from protesting, but that fear is rapidly dissipating.

For those who do take to the streets, as thousands have done in hundreds of locations over the last year, brutal force from security forces is often the response. What avenues does this leave to express dissent, to question government policies or to voice concern over abusive practices?

The ruling party has dealt swiftly and aggressively with anyone who challenges the government narrative. For example, in March 2015, Pastor Omot Agwa was arrested in Addis Ababa with six other colleagues after trying to attend a food security workshop in Nairobi. Four of them were released, but Pastor Omot and two other colleagues have now been charged with terrorism, accused of belonging to a long inactive armed opposition group.

On October 2, in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, an unknown number of people, possibly hundreds, died during a stampede after security forces used teargas and gunfire to control a tense crowd at the annual Irreecha festival. Irreecha is an important cultural event for the Oromo ethnic group and draws millions of people each year to Bishoftu. The deaths have exacerbated pre-existing anger and frustrations throughout Oromia. Since that terrible day, there have been more anti-government protests and destruction of government buildings and properties. On Sunday, October 9, Ethiopia’s prime minister declared a six-month state of emergency.

In July, large protests also occurred in the Amhara region over complex questions of ethnic identity and the dominance in economic and political affairs of those with ties to the ruling party. The government’s brutality continued. In August in Amhara and Oromia regions, security forces killed over 100 people in one bloody weekend.”

So Tedros in Ethopia supported by the CCP is now in the WHO WANTING TO DO THE SAME THINGS. We’ve seen the dry run.
