Ethiopia: 9 Bloggers, Journalists Arrested Ahead of Kerry's Arrival 
--------------------------------------------------------------------


 
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visits Ethiopia today, where the
government is under fire for arresting six bloggers and three
journalists. The nine were reportedly rounded up on Friday and Saturday
and charged with attempting to incite violence. Human Rights Watch has
called on Kerry to press for their release, saying they are being held
in a facility known for abuses, including torture.
