lpv:translated text	". I am pleased to be able to begin this speech by celebrating the release of the six human rights activists whose release we were calling for in the resolution we were to debate today. These people were amongst thousands who were detained in the capital of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, during and after the demonstrations that began on 6 June and that lasted several days. Thirty-six people were killed in these disturbances. Although some 4 000 people have now been released, several thousand remain in prison or in unofficial police detention centres. In view of this situation, the European Union must remain resolute and demand that the investigation of these events continue without obstruction by any of the parties. Furthermore, it seems clear that the opposition has neither the intention nor the means to carry out a violent uprising which could ultimately compromise the election victory which it claims to have won. Nevertheless, we cannot claim victory on behalf of the government which, according to the various recounts, appears to have lost the elections. The European Union must therefore send a clear message to the government, warning it that it must cease all repressive and provocative attitudes, particularly towards members of the opposition, human rights activists and independent journalists, since that hostile attitude may lead the country into a situation of chaos that will benefit nobody. Finally, the European Union must demand that the government fulfil its responsibility to guarantee the security of the citizens and of the new Parliament."@en1
