Prisoners in Ethiopia are entitled to 20 Birr/day feeding allowance to keep them alive. This was withdrawn from OLF detainees in July and has not been resumed, because they were not regarded as ‘real prisoners’. Relatives bringing food to detainees have been turned away, threatened, followed and beaten, especially from Burayu police station.
