Eskinder Nega is an Ethiopian journalist and blogger who has been jailed seven times by the Ethiopian government on convictions for treason and terrorism.

In January 2018, the prison holding Nega was announced to be shut down, with political prisoners freed in order to “foster national reconciliation”. Nega was only allowed freedom if he signed a confession saying that he was a member of the Ginbot 7 group designated terrorists by the federal government; but Nega refused, saying that it was a false confession.
Eskinder Nega was freed on February 14, 2018, along with several other political prisoners.
