Jailed Ethiopians 'wanted
Islamic state'
A federal court in Ethiopia sentenced 20 Muslims to up to five years and
six months in prison for trying to establish an Islamic state in the country,
the state-linked Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) news site reports.
The group attempted to incite violence by distributing pamphlets in mosques
in the capital, Addis Ababa, and other towns, the report alleges.
The 20 were also accused of planning a "criminal strike" and
trying to free jailed activists of the "Let our voices be heard"
movement.
Rights activists have repeatedly accused the Ethiopian government of being
repressive and crushing legitimate dissent.
