At least 140 killed in Ethiopia protests over state land plan: HRW
At least 140 people have been killed in Ethiopia over the past two months in a crackdown on anti-government protests sparked by plans to expand the capital into farmland, Human Rights Watch said Friday.
"Security forces have killed at least 140 protesters and injured many more, according to activists, in what may be the biggest crisis to hit Ethiopia since the 2005 election violence," HRW's Felix Horne said.
The number reported by HRW is almost double the previous toll of 75 the group gave last month.
