I extend my sincere condolences to the people of Ethiopia, specifically the families of all who died in the fire at the Qilinto Prison. I also call on the Government of Ethiopia to treat all protesters and prisoners in a humane fashion and to investigate this incident in a thorough and transparent manner, sharing the results of the investigation with the Ethiopian public.
