Case Head Notes: The Complainants alleged that following the overthrow of the former Mengistu regime in Ethiopia (commonly referred to as the Dergue1regime) by the Ethiopian People‟s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), in 1991, the Dergueofficials surrendered to the new government and they were arrested and detained on account of collective responsibility for policies or abuses by the Dergue regime rather than on an account of individual responsibility for particular criminal offences. The Complainants submit that they have been in detention since then.
