VOA Correspondent in Ethiopia Released From Custody, Charges Dropped
Posted Saturday, May 26th, 2012

A Voice of America correspondent in Ethiopia has been released from custody and charges dropped after being detained in Addis Ababa, while trying to cover a demonstration Friday.

Peter Heinlein told VOA editors by telephone Saturday he is in good condition and has returned to his residence in the capital.

Witnesses to the arrest told VOA Friday that Heinlein and his translator Simegineh Yekoye were detained while trying to interview protesters during a Muslim demonstration following Friday prayers. She has also been released and any charges against her have been dropped.

Another Western reporter said there was a heavy police presence at the demonstration and that he also was stopped by police and told to leave the area.

Tom Rhodes, East Africa spokesman for the Committee to Protect Journalists, said he understood that Heinlein was accused of acting “unprofessionally and illegally.” Rhodes said a government spokesman accused Heinlein, who is married to a Danish diplomat, of improperly using a diplomatic vehicle and refusing to show media accreditation.

Rhodes added that the accusations seemed at odds with Heinlein's reputation as a highly professional journalist who has worked for VOA since 1988.

The Swedes can strong arm Meles, but they are probably reluctant, because one of their citizens is in jail in Eritrea. If they push too hard for the release of the two white boys in Ethiopia, then they will be accused of racism for failing to win the release of the black man in Eritrea.

stop making me laugh, Peter heinlein is a friend of the TPLF. They will apologize and release him as soon as a senior TPLF heard this awful news. I bet you Pter Heinlein will spleep at Meles Zenawi's house discussing what his favorite color is and how he got the job, and in turn Meles will tell him earful of boring story about his bandit life, embelished, of course.

Comformist, I think the problem the swedes have is that the reporters were in the ogaden to investigate lundin oil. The current swedish foreign minister was a lundin oil board member and if meles keeps the reporters buried underground and the investigation is consequently stopped, it´s good for the foreign minister.
