Subject: Appeal for the Release of Unlawfully Detained Moyale Administration Members – Dawa Zone, Somali Region State
Dear Commissioner,
We respectfully write to bring to your urgent attention the situation of some members of the Moyale Administration in Dawa Zone, Somali Regional State, who are currently being held in detention without any crime committed and without evidence presented against them.
The detention of these officials has caused great concern among the local community, as it undermines the principles of justice, human rights, and the rule of law guaranteed under the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Constitution. It is our firm belief that no citizen should be deprived of liberty unless there is clear and lawful justification supported by due legal process.
We kindly appeal to the Ethiopian Federal Police to thoroughly review this matter and take immediate steps to ensure the release of the detained Moyale Administration members who have been jailed without any crime or evidence. Their freedom is essential for the continuation of public service, stability, and the trust of the people in government institutions.
We urge your office to stand firmly for justice, fairness, and transparency by correcting this wrongful detention and allowing the affected individuals to resume their duties and lives in dignity.
Thank you for your attention and prompt action
