Ethiopian Tadesse Kersmo will appear in a London court later today over claims he attended a terrorist training camp
An Ethiopian political campaigner has been charged with attending a terrorist training camp.
He was arrested at Heathrow Airport in January and will appear in court later today charged with attending a place used for terrorist training.
Scotland Yard said last night that Kersmo also faces eight counts of possession of articles containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
Although the charges are often used to deal with ISIS-linked militants, Kersmo’s alleged offences are not thought to be related to Islamist activity, The Times reported today.
Kersmo moved to Britain with his wife in 2009 and was granted asylum. He is understood to have since worked as a university lecturer and campaigned for Ethiopian pro-democracy opposition.
He later claimed his computer had been hacked in 2014, leading to a privacy charity launching a legal case against the Ethiopian government.
Kersmo will appear in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.
Kersmo was arrested at Heathrow Airport earlier this year and was charged yesterday

የእንግሊዝ ፖሊስ በዶ/ር ታደሰ ብሩ ላይ ክስ መሰረተ
ዶ/ር ታደሰ ክስ የተሰመረተባቸው በጥር ወር ኤርትራ ቆይተው ወደ እንግሊዝ ሲገቡ አየር ማረፊያ ላይ በተደረገው ፍተሻ አንዳንድ ጽሁፎችን ከዌብ ሳይት ላይ ወስደው ኮምፒተሮቻቸው ላይ አውርደውና ቦርሳቸው ውስጥ ይዘው በመገኘታቸው ነው። ጽሁፎቹ በእንግሊዝ ፖሊሶች በጥርጣሬ መታየታቸውን ተከትሎ ክስ እንደተመሰረተባቸው ታውቋል።
ዶ/ር ታደሰ በኢትዮጵያ በሚካሄደው የዲሞክራሲና የፍትህ ትግል ውስጥ በአርበኞች ግንቦት 7 ውስጥ በአመራርነት በማገልግል ላይ ናቸው።
የእንግሊዝ ፖሊሶች ውሳኔ ከአርበኞች ግንቦት7 የትግል አላማና ስትራቴጂ ጋር የተያያዘ ነገር እንደሌለው የድርጅቱ አመራሮች ገልጸዋል።
ገዢው ፓርቲ የእንግሊዝ መንግስት አርበኞች ግንቦት 7ትን በሽብርተኝነት እንዲፈርጀው ያቀረበውን ጥያቄ ሳይቀበለው ቀርቷል። የአሜሪካ መንግስትም ተመሳሳይ አቋም መውሰዱ ይታወቃል።
