Between 5 and 1.6 years in prison were sentenced by the regional government .
Based on the charge sheets I reviewed, some appeared to be innocent, and the cases seem to target freedom of expression. One thing all the cases had in common is that they were based on Facebook comments.

Silenced into exile.

Jeberti isn’t just a cameraman But in Ethiopia’s Somali Region, holding a camera can get you arrested.
It’s a system that targets young voices, turns cameras into threats, and pushes media workers into impossible choices.
