Befeqadu unfortunately is in good company as a writer under fire in Ethiopia. Natnael Feleke, also a member of the collective, spent three days in October in a local police station after he was arrested for conversing loudly with his colleagues in a hotel about the causes of stampede that resulted in deaths of hundreds of people in late September. 
Natnael Feleke, ambaye pia ni mmoja wa wanakikundi wa Zone9, mwezi Oktoba alijikuta akishikiliwa katika kituo cha polisi mara baada ya kukamatwa kwa kosa la kuzungumza kwa sauti akiwa na rafiki zake wakiwa katika hoteli moja kuhusu kundi kubwa la watu kukanyagana na kupelekea vifo vya watu takribani mia moja mwishoni mwa mwezi Septemba.
