The Supreme Court has adjourned its ruling on the bail appeal for three terrorism-suspected individuals, keeping them in detention past their granted release date.
- Abebe Akalu and Yisehak Welday from the EPRP and lawyer Abera Nigussie appeared before the Supreme Court and were given a new appointment for Friday, Meskerem 8.
- The Federal High Court had previously ruled on September 4, that the three suspects should be released on a 50,000 Birr bail each.

- The Supreme Court appellate bench heard arguments on September 7, and postponed its ruling from September 15 to September 18 following objections from the defense.
- The suspects have remained in custody for 12 days since their bail was approved, and their detention will reach 15 days by the next court date.
- The three individuals were initially taken into custody on August 3.
