A conversation with Dr Daniel Bekele, Chief Commissioner of the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission and Winner of the German Africa Award 2021

የሰብአዊ መብት ተሟጋች ዶ/ር ዳንኤል በቀለ ትናንት በርሊን ብራንድቡርግ፤ የ2021 የጀርመን አፍሪቃ ሽልማት ተቀበሉ።

I am honoured and humbled by the award from Germany. It definitely is a difficult time for Ethiopia, but the award is also a recognition of the efforts of institutions and human rights workers like me who are trying to work in a very difficult situation.

Ethiopian lawyer Daniel Bekele is being honored for his commitment towards defending human rights. The current head of the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission grew up in the midst of a brutal military dictatorship, and has vowed to speak out and fight back against injustice.

ሪፖርቱ በአገር ውስጥም በዓለም አቀፍ ደረጃም ጥሩ ምላሽና ተቀባይነት አግኝቷል ብዬ አምናለሁ።

በጦርነቱ ወቅት ትግራይ ውስጥ “ተፈጽመዋል” የተባሉት የሰብዓዊ መብት ዓለም አቀፍ ድንጋጌዎችን፣ የስብዕና እና የስደተኛ ሕግጋት መጣስ ሲያጣራ የቆየው ጥምር መርማሪ ቡድን ባወጣው የግኝቱ ሪፖርት የጦር ወንጀሎች እና በስብዕና ላይ የተፈጸሙ ሊባሉ የሚችሉ ወንጀሎች በሁሉም ወገኖች ስለመፈጸማቸው አሳማኝ መሰረቶች አሉ ብሏል።

The report is an important step for accountability and justice for those affected.
