IN BRIEF / ETHIOPIA
Thousands Reportedly Held; Britain Cuts Aid
From Times Wire Reports
June 16, 2005
Thousands of people have been arrested across Ethiopia after violent clashes in which police killed 36 people, a New York-based rights group reported.
The political unrest prompted Britain to suspend a planned $54.1-million increase in aid to Ethiopia, one of the world's poorest countries.
Human Rights Watch said student activists and opposition supporters were rounded up in a crackdown after last week's fighting.
