Human rights / Freedom of movement

Ethiopia: 1. Do courts or other authorities in Ethiopia routinely or ever endorse a person's identity card to show that an individual has a case outstanding to prevent them from leaving the country? If so, what is the purpose of the endorsement? 2. Are persons departing Addis Ababa airport for overseas routinely required to show their identity cards. If so, what is the purpose (given that a passport would presumably serve as proof of identity)? 3. Is there any other way that authorities at the airport would know that a person had an outstanding court case? 11 May 2009 | Publisher: Australia: Refugee Review Tribunal | Document type: Query Responses
