Here's another article about Eritrea (see my prior post https://diasp.org/posts/21187251)

*Note - as you all know I am NOT religious but this Jehovah's Witnesses article really helps show the horrible abuses of #HumanRights in #Eritrea

Here's a short quote to give you an idea:

In Eritrea, those who will not serve in the military for religious reasons are jailed in poor conditions. This is the situation of 12 of the Witnesses who are imprisoned. Three of these conscientious objectors have been in prison for over 14 years, since 1994.

(The article is from 2008 so it would now be almost 30 years imprisonment!)

How much do you know about #Eritrea?

A few days ago, I could only tell you where to find it on the map. But I've started reading and learning that it is a brutal #totalitarian regime with no elections, no press freedom, indefinite compulsory #conscription, and tens of thousands imprisoned in hideously inhumane conditions.

The next few days I will be sharing links about Eritrea's terrifying and bloody past 30 years since independence. This is for #solidarity and also to inspire concern and support for #Eritrean refugees who may have escaped to your own home lands.

Eritrean soldiers and Tigrayan militias raped, detained and killed Eritrean refugees in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray, an international rights watchdog said on Thursday.
