Ethiopia refuses allow access to imprisoned British citizen

Ethiopia has refused to allow a delegation of parliamentarians to visit a British dissident facing the death penalty in the African country. Andy Tsege, who is the secretary-general of a banned Ethiopian opposition movement, was sentenced to death at a trial held in his absence in 2009. He was travelling from Dubai to Eritrea last June when he disappeared during a stopover in Yemen, in what campaigners regard as a politically motivated kidnapping. Weeks later, he emerged in detention in Ethiopia.
