Nine-year-old girl to sue government
Daughter expresses anger over Britain’s refusal to help father

THE NINE-YEAR-OLD daughter of a British activist who was kidnapped and renditioned to Ethiopia is suing the British government over its refusal to call for his return.

Lawyers for Menabe Andargachew, a joint US-British citizen living in London, have begun judicial review proceedings against the Foreign Office over ministers’ handling of the case of her father, Andargachew “Andy” Tsege.

British citizen Mr Tsege was kidnapped and illegally rendered to Ethiopia by US forces in June 2014.
