Summary
Ethiopian authorities have been urged to release detained journalists and media workers in the country.
On Wednesday, authorities released a BBC reporter and several other media workers detained in the past few days by the military in the war-torn northern Tigray region, but the whereabouts of other journalists are still unknown.
The release of BBC’s Girmay Gebru followed pressure from global media watchdogs and press freedom right groups.
