At least 22 Ethiopians have been shot dead as police clashed with protesters accusing the ruling party of fraud in last month's elections.
Correspondents say the Black Lion hospital in the capital, Addis Ababa is full of those injured in the clashes, while crowds of relatives weep outside.
Hundreds of students have been arrested this week for defying a protest ban.
Final results have not been announced three weeks after the polls, as reports of massive fraud are investigated.
However, provisional results say the opposition has won the capital's seats by a landslide - a major breakthrough after 14 years of domination by the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF).
