The Editor in chief told Addis Admass newspaper that he was called to the police office on Monday afternoon for questioning and detained. The next day in the court though the police had asked for the fourteen days probing time, the court allowed only for seven days.
Two days later the Editor in chief is released for a 30 000 Br bail.
