In its urgent meeting held today, the Ethiopian parliament approved an amnesty law.<\/p>\n

The law grants amnesty for individuals and groups either under investigation or convicted on treason, a crime against the constitutional order and armed struggle.<\/p>\n

The new law, however, seems to make exceptions. Criminals convicted of genocide, extrajudicial killings, forced abduction\/kidnapping and committing inhuman torture and beating will not benefit from the legislation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Council of Ministers endorsed the law last month and referred it to the parliament for approval.<\/p>\n

The parliament also approved the appointment of eight members of the Ethiopian Press Agency Board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
