TOURTURES AND OTHER RUTHLESS TREATMENTS

The major actors in crime of torture are the FP-CFIMD (Federal Police Crime and Forensic Investigation Main Division), National Security and Intelligence Service, and Federal Police Anti-Terrorist Task Force. And, the methods of torture include the following:

· Blindfolding with black piece of clothe and tying tightly all over head and masking the whole body

· Handcuffing and shackling legs for a long time

· (While torturing) Stuffing dirty clothes, prisoner’s own socks, etc into mouth to prevent them from screaming for help, which is not available, anyways,

· Thrashing all over the body, especially around very sensitive extremities and limbs such as on fingers, elbows, knees, and shin bones and on the head,

· Threatening by pointing gun/piston into mouth and onto forehead in order to coerce into false confession,

· Blowing/Slapping faces, hitting eyes and ears causing damages and bleeding,

· Tying hands up to a peg on ceiling/roof – suspending,

· Locking in an isolated dark, concrete-floored freezing room without sunlight, food and fresh air,

· Forcing to do highly physically demanding exercises for long hours, usually until the person loses control of himself/herself, sometimes naked,

· Forcing to walk on broken glasses and bottles with barefoot,

· Prolonged solitary confinement, interrogation, and denial of court visit,

· Sleep deprivation by forcing to stand for hours and sometimes for the whole night,

· Poking needle in to fingers under fingernails,

· Extracting/Pulling out fingernails by pliers,

· Electronic shock all over the body, especially on fingers,legs,buttock,and ears

· Taking to cliffs/hillsides (usually to Entoto Cliff) and threatening the detainee at gun point to push/throw them down from the top of the cliff.

· Burying the whole body except the neck and hitting on head while threatening to shoot by gun,

· Shaving hair dry with broken bottles, glasses or razor,

· Forcing to sit /lay naked on freezing concrete floor for long hours,

· Forcing to drink or lick one’s own blood after causing to bleed by beating

· Tying and suspending filled bottle on male testicles, likely to castrate (there is one case of castration),

· Inserting water bottle in to female genitalia,

· Beating (male detainees) on the testicles to castrate,

· Loud music assaults on ears while standing erect, hands stretching up,

· Forcing to eat one’s own stools or drink own urine,

· Shackling both hands and legs and forcing a thick stick between the arms and legs/knees, body squeezed, then keeping the person in that position for long hours,

· Beating on the sole of feet with sticks, wires and rubbers, causing wounds,

· Poking on abdomen and rib bones with barrel/long metals and tip of knife,

· Shooting on body extremities (legs and hands), that does not cause instant death, while the detainee observes the assault,

· When a detainee discloses the ill treatments to court , upon return from court, inflicting severe punishments/torture, worse than the ones he or she complained about,

· Many other forms of torture.

I. SOME OF THE ILL-TREATMENT AND UNFAVOURABLE CONDITIONS IN KALITY PRISON IN ADDIS ABEBA

· Extremely overcrowded prison halls into which hundreds are crammed, with no ventilation and limited openings for the air to enter and exit,

· Suffocation in a prison hall infested with flea, lice, and bacteria/virus from inmates with communicable diseases including TB,

· Extremely poor sanitation in an environment with no access tomedical care, especially for political prisoners,

· Insufficient water supply both for consumption and hygiene in highly congested prison halls,

· Insufficient and badly cooked food with no variety,

· Sleeping on freezing concrete floor

· Denial of access to and usage of sources of information such as radio, magazines and newspapers,

· Frequent search of luggage of prisoners particularly targeting written materials

· Complaints against these all human rights violations being severely punishable

We would like to inform everyone that this report is not all inclusive. Firstly, it does not reflect the whole reality of the current prison situations in most Ethiopian political prisons. Secondly, it doesn’t cover all, especially the secret and the unofficial, prisons and detentions centres where most Ethiopian political prisoners are held under the current regime. This is mainly due to lack of communication and very tight control over the exchange and flow of information. As a result, hundreds of political prisoners languishing in the same terrible prison situations in different places (for example Bahir Transit prison here in the Capital, Mekel Prison in Tigrai) have not been included.

We also would like to bring to everyone’s attentions that these all extrajudicial punishments and human rights violations are being inflicted on Oromo sons and daughters, not because they committed any crime, but simply because they attempted to exercise their fundamental human rights that are universally recognized.

Finally, we call up on all regional and international human rights and political organizations to interfere, for the sake of human dignity, in the never-ending, but not well-noticed, Ethiopian political problem that is threatening not only local but also regional political stability.
