The case of the 20 Oromo students of Addis Ababa University, who were arrested for holding a demonstration in front of the US Embassy gate condemning the government’s abuse on human rights, were appointed for a verdict. On the previous trial session, the judges had said that the witnesses hearing audio records transcription was not completed and the case was adjourned for June 23rd 2016.
