Of late, to the delight of the Eritrean people, the Government of Eritrea has released dozens of prisoners. In a press release, the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for HR said that while this news is encouraging, the Government needs to do more because there “are estimated to be more than 10,000 people in arbitrary detention in Eritrea, among them politicians, journalists, priests and students.” Where did the “10,000” number come and how credible is it?

Another good news coming out of Eritrea. Many prisoners who has been in prison for endifinate years just got released, this group was arrested for being Christians and spent years in prison without any charges. So happy for them and their family and praying for more good news for the hundreds of thousands prisoners and their families. More of this please 💜

Good news coming out of Eritrea, 7 prisoners of conscience who have been held incomunicado and without any charges for over 18 years were released today. One of the prisoners released today was Zeregabir, who was a renowned Eritrean/Ethiopian cyclist and a big business man. Zeregabir was my neighbor back home, he was someone that I loved and who was a father figure to me. I never thought he would be alive after all this years.
