Police re-arrested an 18-year-old Ethiopian Christian woman only hours after she was released on bail, it was reported in early November.

The woman, known as Deborah, was detained with three younger teenage girls for their part in handing out a book about Christianity in Babile, a town 550km from the capital, Addis Ababa.

Local Muslims said the book was an insult to Islam, and this led to an attack on a church and the arrest of the four teenagers. It is not yet clear why Deborah was re-arrested.
