Several Ethiopian activists were imprisoned under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed after he received the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, according to a letter highlighting the contrast with his laureate status.
The activists were detained for protesting human rights violations and what the letter described as a profoundly undemocratic social order in Ethiopia.
The criticism was framed against a 12 May appeal by 112 Nobel laureates urging Iran to free gravely ill activist Narges Mohammadi.
The letter argues that the same global Nobel community should also confront abuses linked to one of its own members, widening scrutiny of Abiy's record.
