#Eritrea refugees held, tortured in #Egypt: NGO

More than 3,000 Eritrean refugees have been detained in Egypt this year and some have reported sexual violence and torture, a human rights #NGO said Monday.

Eritrea, a Horn of Africa country of approximately 3.5 million inhabitants, has one of the most repressive governments in the world.

Led since 1993 by President Isaias Afwerki, who has never held an election, its citizens face indefinite military service that leads many young men to flee the country.

A report published by Human Rights Concern – Eritrea (#HRCE) said more than 3,000 refugees from the country have been arrested in Egypt since January 10.

It collected testimonies and photographs to show that many had suffered "beatings and burns inflicted with hot water and corrosive substances", and sexual violence.

Two young children have reportedly died after their mother was arrested, HRCE said. Some may already have been deported back to Eritrea despite being registered with the #UN refugee agency, which should protect them from forced return, arbitrary arrest, and detention.

Egypt and Eritrea have grown closer in recent months due to shared difficulties with Ethiopia. Egypt is worried by #Ethiopia's new mega-dam on the River Nile, which it says poses an "existential threat" to its water security.

Eritrea accuses landlocked Ethiopia of plotting to invade and take control of its port at Assab. AFP has approached the Eritrean government for comment.

HRCE urged the UN to "intervene immediately to prevent deportations" and Egypt to "uphold its obligations under international refugee law". HRCE says there are more than 10,000 prisoners of conscience in Eritrea, including journalists, dissidents, and members of religious minorities. It says many have been held for years without trial.

@abborfisk1 @UNHCREgypt @IOMEgypt @UNEgypt @moiegy You don't need to deny what is happening to Eritrean refugees in Egypt to amplify the same atrocities being waged over Sudanese refugees Mr . Eritrean refugees are also going through hell in Egypt right now & if you don't know that help us by keeping to your lane !

@Tomaz394169 @AbiyAhmedAli @DejenKesete88 @amnesty @HumanRightsWa17 @UNHumanRights @AbrhamFa You are too petty & too small to even say anything. And the way you responded says a lot about you and your ignorance.

[SemharnayEritrea @semharnay]

We call upon the #Ethiopian goverrnemnt @AbiyAhmedAli to free three Eritrean activists who have been imprisoned in Addis Ababa . Their names are Zerisenay Meles , Yonas Mebrahtom & Habtom Gebretsadkan . @DejenKesete88 @amnesty @HumanRightsWa17 @UNHumanRights @AbrhamFa

@StateDept @POTUS @SecRubio @StateSPEHA In Eritrea Ciham Abdu a US citizen has been jailed by the regime in Asmara (to spite her father ex information minister Ali Abdu ) since she was only 15 years old !

@Lemlem82994 You can't even spell Eritrean ! You are an Eritrean through Isaias like ጥማዕ unlike me who is born Eritrean with ሪምን ርስትን ግብሪን ጤሳን ..... I have no issue with my identity like your inferior self .... ንግዚኡ ግን ወስልቲ ደሓን ወለንታዊት ጊላ ኢሳያስ !

24 years since that fateful day in 2001 ! The day #pfdj maimed and silenced the hopes & dreams for a democratic #Eritrea ruled by the rule of law under a constitution and not by one over ambitious lunatic ! A day those who stood up to Oppression and spoke up were taken from us !

[SemharnayEritrea @semharnay]

@BiniamTekle18 They were innocent , the tyrant had no guts to tolerate their standing up for the truth ! But goons like you would never get it , you will echo what they tell you with out second thoughts like the brainless puppet you and your likes are ..... A mindless slave by choice !

[SemharnayEritrea @semharnay]

@SamLan319749 @UNHumanRights @Refugees @amnesty Do you think these refugees should pay for what other pfdj supporters abroad are doing or saying ?

[SemharnayEritrea @semharnay]

#Ethiopia is deporting Eritrean refugees knowing what the situation that pushed them out of #Eritrea is in the first place. This is inhumane , barbaric & unethical . We call upon @UNHumanRights @Refugees @amnesty @UNHumanRights to give this matter the attention it deserves !

[SemharnayEritrea @semharnay]

#Pfdj of #Eritrea continues jailing innocent religious leaders ... it has now jailed Sheikh Adam Shaban a Moslem cleric. Let's not also forget that it has been 21 years since these Pentecostal church leaders have been jailed incommunicado.@amnesty @HumanRightsWa17 @UNHumanRights

@TiborPNagyJr @mrubin1971 In 2012 (13 yrs ago) Pfdj , the ruling party in Eritrea imprisoned 15 year old Ciham Abdu an innocent girl with a US citizen to spite her dad , it's former minister of information who is in exile and the US government has done nothing to get her released !#JusticeForCiham
