The Ethiopian government-appointed human rights watchdog has called for the immediate release of thousands of Tigrayans who are being held in two detention camps in the north-eastern region of Afar.
The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission described their detention as illegal.
It says around 9,000 Tigrayans have been held there since December last year. They were from areas bordering Tigray where there has been a civil war.
The Addis Ababa government says the detainees were being held for their own safety and also to allow screening to find criminals including people linked to the fighting.
