Ethiopia charged 26 former officials of its National Intelligence and Security Services, including ex-Director General Getachew Assefa, the ruling party-funded Fana Broadcasting Corp. reported.
Four of them, including Getachew, were charged in absentia at a court in the capital, Addis Ababa, with gross human rights violations. They include torture, forced confessions, sodomy, rape, electrocution, and arbitrary detention of people in secret facilities, Fana said, citing a statement from the Attorney General’s Office.
