Ethiopians in Europe build a case against Meles Zenawi

March 18th, 2009 | ER - Ethiopians from several European cities are
mobilizing for a massive protest rally against Meles Zenawi - also known
as the Butcher of Addis - in London where he will arrive on April 2 for
the G20 meeting.
Ethiopian lawyers, in collaboration with the protest organizers, are
also in the process of hiring a British law firm to file criminal
charges against Meles under Section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988
of U.K. which authorizes the prosecution in Britain of any person who
commits an act of torture anywhere in the world.
A representative of the organizers informed Ethiopian Review that some
highly prominent Ethiopian lawyers in the U.S. and Europe are involved
in the matter. The lawyers have prepared a comprehensive criminal case
against Meles, which includes charges of torture and wholesale murder of
unarmed Ethiopian and Somali civilians.
The April 2 protest in London is expected to attract the largest
Ethiopian protest rally since 2005 when the Meles regime unleashed a
campaign of terror against Ethiopians following the fraudulent May 2005
elections.
