Ethiopia: Journalists, Politician Found Guilty A lawyer in Ethiopia says that a judge has found a group of three journalists, a politician and one other person guilty of conspiring to commit acts of terrorism. The five were arrested in June under Ethiopia's controversial anti-terrorism laws. Ethiopian government spokesman Shimeles Kemal had said the five were involved in planning attacks on infrastructure, telecommunications and power lines. Alemu Gobebo, a private lawyer and a father of one of the defendants, said Thursday that the five were found guilty. They could face the death sentence. Sentencing is Jan. 26. Alemu called the trial politically motivated. Rights groups have been calling for the release of the journalists.
