The police came and they beat us...and now more than 100 people are at the police station, said Getaneh Balcha, a senior member of the opposition Blue Party movement, adding the party chairman and vice chairman were among those held. The government said protesters did not have a permit to demonstrate and confirmed that arrests had been made, but did not say how many. It was an illegal demonstration, they had not got a permit from the appropriate office, Shimeles Kemal, a government spokesman, told the AFP news agency, adding charges could be brought against the organisers.
