Amnesty International, the UK-based rights group, has voiced concern over the arrest of nine people, including two journalists and two opposition party members, in Ethiopia on suspicion of terrorist offences.
Woubishet Taye, a deputy-editor for the weekly Awramba Times, and Reyot Alemu from the Feteh newspaper who were arrested on July 19 and 21, were among those detained.
Demelash Woldemikael, the assistant commissioner of Ethiopia's federal police, said: "The group was caught while plotting to sabotage electricity and telephone lines in an attempt to wreak havoc in the country.
"Further investigation has also revealed that they acted to recruit others to carry out terrorist activities with support from the Eritrean government and other anti-peace groups."
Demelash said the group will be charged upon completion of investigations.
The detentions prompted the media watchdogs the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) to call for their immediate release.
