The Committee to Protect Journalists posted on 9 April 2025 a bulletin titled "At Least 7 Journalists Detained in Ethiopia on Terror Allegations."
Police arrested at least 7 journalists with the privately owned Ethiopia Broadcasting Service (EBS) over what authorities said was a fabricated documentary. The EBS founder apologized for airing the fabricated allegation. The journalists' lawyers said the editorial lapses should be addressed under Ethiopia's media law, not its antiterrorism legislation.
