Amnesty apologises for error made in recent media output about Ethiopia

Addis Ababa, August 18, 2020 (FBC) -Amnesty International has apologized for an error made by its communications team in a recent media output about Ethiopia.

The organization removed the video and apologized for the mistake.

In a tweet, Amnesty said that “Our comms team recognizes the negative impact of our recent media output and apologises for posting it in error.”

Last June, Ethiopia dismissed Amnesty’s May 2020 report regarding human rights violations in Amhara and Oromia regional states as fundamentally flawed.

The government also called on the organization to review again the report which lacked impartiality.

Amnesty International is a non-governmental organization with its headquarters in the United Kingdom focused on human rights.
