“Such a Brutal Crackdown”

Annex 1: Documented Killings
Several organizations and individuals, including Human Rights Watch, the Human Rights
Council (HRCO), Ethiopia Human Rights Project (EHRP), and the Human Rights League Horn
of Africa (HRLHA) have compiled lists of alleged victims of killings. These lists are based on
photos, videos, credible media reports, interviews with witnesses, family members, and
health workers, and other information.
Annex 1 contains a partial list of 314 alleged victims of killings between November 15, 2015
through May 15, 2016, including the names of the victims and the approximate date and
location of their deaths. The annex is compiled based on information contained in the
various lists as well as Human Rights Watch interviews with witnesses, family members,
and health workers.
Given the geographic range and wide timeframe of the incidents and the restrictions on
access, it is not possible to corroborate many details of the 314 alleged killings listed in
Annex 1, but Human Rights Watch included these cases based on information collected
from different and independent sources as well as information from the 62 protest
locations that Human Rights Watch investigated in detail. There are credible allegations of
approximately 100 more victims of killings where Human Rights Watch has gathered
credible but partial information; for that reason we have not included those individuals on
this list. Where there was insufficient or conflicting information between different sources,
the details of these incidents and victims were not included in the list. The list is partial
underscoring the need for all of the killings and other serious abuses to be
comprehensively investigated.
