The Ethiopian government has repatriated a journalist who was arrested in Djibouti in collaboration with Djiboutian authorities and Interpol, the state television (ETV) reported.
Gobeze Sisay, the owner and founder of an internet-based media, Amhara Voice, “was wanted for terrorist acts … to subvert the constitutional order in Amhara Region”.
Mr Gobeze was in a list of wanted people the federal government also accused of plotting to subvert the constitutional order in Amhara.
He was arrested and charged with multiple criminal charges last September before being released on bail in November.
Detention of journalists has been on the rise in Ethiopia in recent months.
