AI SUMMARY
The bail hearing for detained EPRP members has been postponed for the third time by the Supreme Court due to judge rotations during the summer schedule.
- The bail hearing for EPRP members Yishak Wolday, Abebe Akalu, and lawyer Abera Nigussie was postponed for the third time.
- The Federal High Court had previously ordered their release on a 50,000 Birr bail each, rejecting police requests for 14 more days of investigation.
- Police appealed the bail decision, keeping the suspects in custody despite bail payments being processed.
- The suspects have spent an additional 18 days in detention due to the police appeal and repeated scheduling delays.
- The Supreme Court postponed the hearing because the judges on duty had just received the file due to the summer rotation schedule and had not yet reviewed it.
- The Supreme Court scheduled the next hearing to deliver a decision on September 24.
- Defense attorney Solomon Gezahegn reported the unjustified delays to the Vice President of the Supreme Court.
