ADDIS ABABA - Amnesty International has apologized Ethiopia over its recent media output admitting that the post was made in error. A tweet on its official account indicated that Amnesty International has always support the human rights of all Ethiopians. The Attorney General also said its attempt in holding consultations with Amnesty did not produce any sufficient response to prove or disprove the allegations. Amnesty's misplaced accusation only considered as human rights violations those measures taken by the government to ensure the rule of law, said the Attorney general in a statement in mid-July this year. However, unlike the previous quality and credible reports of Amnesty, the current report does not meet even the organization's own human rights reporting guidelines and criteria, the Attorney General office added.
