A statement from the Eritrean government could significantly alleviate the concerns of Eritrean families. A simple declaration, such as "this is not true" or "we have raised our concerns with the Egyptian authorities," would help ease their worries considerably.

Eritrean refugees in Egypt face abuse,detention & violence. Clear breaches of international law. Egypt must honor the 1951 Refugee Convention & #UNHCR should investigate urgently. Human rights aren't optional. @UNHumanRights @UN

Refugees in Cairo are being treated worse than criminals: beaten, extorted for sleep, and exposed to sexual assault. This is systematic torture disguised as detention. The world is watching — end this abuse immediately.@moiegy @hrw @AJEnglish @AlsisiOfficial @amnesty

[ቤትናኤል @BETSOLOM]

This is heartbreaking and unacceptable. Refugees deserve protection not abuse

The ongoing abuse of Eritrean refugees by Egyptian police is a grave violation of human rights. Reports of arbitrary detention, physical beatings, forced deportations, and sexual violence are deeply alarming and unacceptable. Refugees are vulnerable people seeking safety and protection not targets for brutality and terror.
These actions must stop immediately. Authorities must be held accountable, and the safety, dignity, and human rights of Eritrean refugees must be respected and protected in accordance with international law. The world cannot remain silent in the face of such suffering.
Justice, protection, and humanity must prevail.

1/ 3,000+ Eritrean refugees reportedly detained in Egypt.
2/ Women & minors included.

This demands global attention.

Eritrean refugees in #Egypt are reporting fear, arrests, torture, rape, and imminent deportation. We call on UNHCR to intervene decisively & on Egyptian authorities to halt removals pending full protection review @UNHCREgypt @Refugees @hrw @amnesty

ما يحدث للاجئين الإريتريين في مصر كارثة إنسانية لا يمكن السكوت عنها. هناك تقارير عن اعتداءات خطيرة، بما فيها الاغتصاب، طالت حتى 13 قاصراً. هؤلاء ليسوا أرقاماً، بل أشخاص يعانون يومياً في خوف ورعب.

بينما يتمتع لاجئون من دول أخرى بحماية سفاراتهم ودعمها، يجد اللاجئون الإريتريون أنفسهم بلا حماية حقيقية، أو جهة تدافع عنهم.

نناشد السلطات المصرية بكل احترام أن تحترم حقوق الإنسان، وتحمي جميع اللاجئين على أراضيها. مصر هي أم الدنيا، بلد الكرم والضيافة، ومعروف عنها دائماً أنها تحمي الضعفاء والمحتاجين. ما يحدث الآن لا يعكس مصر التي نعرفها ونفتخر بها، وليس هذا ما نتوقعه منها.

كما نوجه رسالة صارمة للسفارة الإريترية في مصر: قوموا بواجبكم تجاه مواطنيكم، احموا اللاجئين الإريتريين، وكونوا صوتاً لهم أمام كل الجهات المسؤولة.

و يجب فتح تحقيق عاجل وشفاف في هذه الانتهاكات، ومحاسبة كل من يثبت تورطه فيها، وضمان حماية جميع اللاجئين دون أي تمييز. ويجب أن تتحرك كل الجهات المعنية فوراً، قبل أن تتفاقم الكارثة..

No person should be subjected to rape,abuse or indefinite detention while seeking refuge.These reports from Egypt are horrifying.We urge the @Refugees to exercise its mandate to the fullest extent & demanding immediate access to detention centers. @UN @UNHumanRights @UNHCREgypt

[ቸጎቬራ ቸቸ @BahlbiY]

URGENT: Reports indicate 3,000+ Eritrean refugees including women & minors are detained in Egypt.

According to The New Arab citing Human Rights Concern – Eritrea, detainees face alleged abuse and risk of forced deportation back to Eritrea.

If true, this is a grave violation of international law.

Eritreans flee repression under President Isaias Afwerki.
Forcibly returning them could mean imprisonment, indefinite conscription, or worse.

🚨 We call for:

• Immediate halt to deportations
• Full access for @UNHCREgypt & @Refugees
• Urgent intervention from @UNmigration
• Independent investigation by @amnesty & @hrw
• International humanitarian oversight

@FilippoGrandi @KellyTClements @RaoufMazou @UNReliefChief the world is watching.

Protect Eritrean refugees.
Protect the children.
Uphold international law.

Eritrean refugees escaping repression should not face torture, abuse, or sexual violence in Egypt. Every government has a duty to protect people within its borders. Refugees are human beings, and their rights must be respected. #StopAbuse #Justice @hrw @UNHumanRights @Refugees

[Displaced International @displacedint]

"Afghan refugees and other displaced Afghans, including those resettled in the United States and elsewhere, did not leave their homes by choice. They were forced to flee because the current political and security status quo in Afghanistan has left them with no safe, dignified way to remain in their country. Many have survived war, persecution, and betrayal; they now worry they may be judged not as individuals, but as a threat. We respectfully urge that no form of collective punishment, scapegoating, or policy backlash be directed at Afghan refugees, asylum seekers, or other displaced Afghans in response to a single tragic incident involving one individual."
