An Ethiopian court on Wednesday ordered the release of Kenyan journalist Yassin Juma, as he made his fourth appearance since his arrest in Addis Ababa early in July. Mr Kedir is one among the three Ethiopian lawyers who had been defending Mr Juma in Wednesday's and previous court hearings. Convinced by the arguments of the lawyers, the court ordered that Mr Juma, is released on 3,000 birr ($ 85) bail. Juma's case had been seen in court alongside four other suspects including an Ethiopian journalist who similarly got court orders today for their release in bail. However, the Ethiopian lawyers say the journalist has been fighting his cases in court without any legal representation.
