Ethiopian Muslims sentenced on terror-related charges
A court in Ethiopia has jailed a group of Muslims convicted of terrorism-related charges.
The group was first charged in 2014 and convicted last month, the publication reports.
In August 2015, a court sentenced 18 Muslims, including clerics and a journalist, to up to 22 years in prison under controversial anti-terrorism legislation.
They were arrested three years ago over protests against alleged government interference in religious affairs.
Ethiopia’s government has often been accused of stifling dissent.
It denies the allegation.
