Ethiopians given death sentences
October 20, 2004 The court said the men were all members of the rebel
Oromo Liberation Front. The court was quoted as saying they were guilty of
"torturing, throwing their victims alive in wells, cutting
their throats and gunning them down". OLF rebels have been fighting for the independence of
Ethiopia's southern Oromo region for more than a decade.
Ethiopia accuses the OLF of a series of bombings.
The victims were alleged to be spies for the ruling party
in the eastern Hararghe region. The death sentences still need to be approved by the
Ethiopian president. Another man was sentenced to 20 years in jail.
