Ethiopia accused of torture


Staff Reporter

A former Toronto resident is being tortured in Ethiopia, his relatives say.

Bashir Makhtal has been detained in Ethiopia since late January.

He is among 41 prisoners from 17 countries that Ethiopia has admitted holding; 29 were ordered released by a military court.

Makhtal was among the dozen who were to remain in custody.
