Parliament set to appoint Berhanu Adelo to lead Human Rights Commission
Berhanu Adello Gebremariam, consultant and attorney at law, is expected to become commissioner of Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC), a position that has been vacant since Daniel Bekele (PhD) stepped down in July 2024. Parliament is expected to approve the appointment in its session this morning.
Rakeb Melese, who has been deputy commissioner and serving as acting commissioner, was expected to replace Daniel but Berhanu has become government's preference, according to sources. Berhanu is a new face among the human rights frontiers.
Berhanu was an official during late PM Meles Zenawi.
