Amir Aman Kiyaro, an Associated Press journalist, was arrested on November 28, 2021, during Ethiopia's state of emergency. He is known for reporting on human rights violations and was detained by intelligence officers and Addis Ababa police. Following his arrest, Ethiopian national television stations, including Walta Television, accused him of biased reporting. Despite international law protecting against arbitrary arrests, Amir Aman was not brought to court until late January and was denied bail. He has been detained without charges for 100 days and has fallen critically ill due to poor prison conditions. International and regional bodies, as well as the Committee to Protect Journalists, have criticized the use of broad anti-terrorism laws to suppress freedom of expression and detain journalists like Amir Aman.
