State Department Daily Briefing regarding Secretary Kerry’s visit to Ethiopia.
MS. PSAKI: Sure, I can. We are aware that six independent bloggers and three independent journalists were detained by Ethiopian police April 25th through 26th. We urge the Government of Ethiopia to expeditiously review the cases of these detainees and promptly release them. We have raised these concerns on the ground directly with the Government of Ethiopia.
And we, of course, reiterate our longstanding concern about the abridgment of the freedom of press and the freedom of expression in Ethiopia, and urge the Government of Ethiopia to fully adhere to its constitutional guarantees. And certainly while the Secretary is there as part of his trip to Africa, he often raises, at every opportunity, issues surrounding human rights, whether it’s media freedoms or equal treatment, freedom of speech, and I expect that will be the case this time as well.
