Draft Proclamation
Ethiopian Civil Society faces highly restrictive law
Ethiomedia | February 21, 2008
SEATTLE - A highly secretive and very restrictive 62-page document that the Meles regime is going to enact into law was obtained by Ethiomedia from highly confidenatial sources. No one including the relevant stakeholders (Civil Society members) have seen or examined this classified document to even comment on it.

Ethiomedia has also learnt from very credible sources that this legislation will be far worse and extremely restrictive than the Singapore Civil Society Legislation that it is modeled after.

The document is presented in four pdf files: Part I Part II, and Part III, and Part IV

For comparison and further understanding, we have also included the Singapore documents:

Societies Act.

Charities Act Singapore.
Code of Governance for Charities
Internal Security Act
