Lami Begna and Dawit Abdata were acquitted for the fifth time in the second week of January 2021 but were not released. They were taken to an unknown destination from Sabata Dalati prison on 5 February. On 29 March 2021, they appeared in court and were immediately acquitted. As they walked free from the court they were re-arrested and taken away by security forces -for the sixth time (above right). The prosecutor had previously dropped charges against Mikael Boran, Col. Gamachu Ayana, Kenasa Ayana and Abdulgafar Umar Kadir but police had by then transferred them to Sidist Kilo ‘secret prison’ before their transfers elsewhere.
