Ginbot 7 Movement for Justice and Freedom issued a statement remembering the massacre of pro-democracy protesters in Addis Ababa and other cities through out Ethiopia.
Following the May 2005 elections, in which Meles Zenawi’s regime was defeated, Meles suspended the constitution and ordered his death squads (the Federal Police and Agazi Special Forces) to shoot and kill Ethiopians who protested the stealing of the election.
A report by an inquiry commission later accused the Meles regime of engaging in wholesale torture and murder of unarmed civilians. Hundreds of thousands of young Ethiopians were also rounded up and thrown in disease-infested concentration camps. All the top leaders of the opposition Coalition for Unity and Democracy Party (Kinijit) were arrested.
Ginbot 7 dedicated its Nov. 1st radio program to the June and November 2005 massacres of Ethiopians who were gunned down for exercising their constitutional right to hold protest demonstrations. Click below to listen.
