Subject: Extradiction of Andargachew Tsege from Yemen to Ethiopia!
Dear Mr. Hague, !
An Ethiopian activist who is currently based in London and is a hold!
er of a British Passport has been detained in Sana’a on Monday, June 22nd. His name
is Andargachew Tsege, he is a major Ethiopian opposition leader, and he was travelling
from Dubai to Asmara, Eritreia, in Yemenia Airways which was transiting through
Sana’a.
From the information I got, the Yemeni authorities have detained him at the airport and
is whereabouts were unknown for days. I was informed that the British Embassy was
aware of the detention and I believe that Yemeni authorities acted at the request of the
Ethiopian authorities. Today, I have received information that Mr. Tsege was extradited
to Ethiopia, which means that his life and physical integrity are in great danger and that
he will be wrongfully accused of crimes he did not commit.!
I am shocked with this blatant violation of the principle of non-refoulement by Yemeni
authorities and seriously disappointed with the lack of visible action on the part of the
British authorities, to secure the protection of Mr. Tsege.!
I urge you, now, to do the utmost to ensure the release and the highest possible
protection of Mr. Tsege in Ethiopia and his return to the United Kingdom as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Ana Gomes!
