On 25 March, government forces went from house to house in Haqoo Kaarraa kebele, Adaba district, West Arsi, demanding cash. When they were asked what they had done with previous contributions, they accused villagers of ‘having an enemy-like attitude’ and beat them. Seven, including Kadir Tumsa, were taken to the kebele prison and then to the district prison next day, where they are reportedly being severely abused. Because of beatings and threats, many have fled from the kebele (ONM).
