Belarus denied political asylum to Ethiopian pilots

July 22nd, 2005 |

Ethiopian Review
July 22, 2005

The Ethiopian pilots who sought political asylum in Belarus informed Ethiopian Review today that the Belarus Ministry of Interior informed them that their political asylum requested has been denied.

The Ministry of Interior officials told the pilots that the reason for denying them asylum is that there is a stable political situation in Ethiopia.

The officials returned to the pilots their passports and withdrew security protection. As of today, the pilots have no security.

They have also been given one month to appeal to the court.

The Meles regime buys from Belarus millions of dollars worth of weapons every year, the money that has been donated by Western countries for “humanitarian purposes.”
