Renowned Ethiopian journalist Temesgen Desalegn has been released after spending Wednesday night in police custody in the capital, Addis Ababa.
The reason for his arrest is yet to be known.
He is the owner of a widely read weekly Amharic magazine, Feteh, that has been critical of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government and the ruling Prosperity Party.
Mr Temesgen is no stranger to run-ins with the government as Temesgen Desalegn has been a critic of the government for quite a long time now.
He was previously arrested by the administrations of Meles Zenawi and Hailemariam Desalegn.
