Ethiopian Review has been informed that Professor Mesfin Wolde Mariam was rushed to a hospital yesterday. “Although it is not clear what exactly the health problem is yet, we do know that he is in the Intensive Care Unit,” a message from the family stated.

“We would like to assure all that at the present time, he is doing well under observation,” the family said.

“We remain concerned about the adverse health consequences of the living conditions in Kaliti prison, particularly among the elder prisoners, those with prior health conditions etc, and the quality and availability of appropriate care to these prisoners, even by local standards,” the Professor’s family added.
