<p>The UK remains committed to promoting and defending freedom of religious belief
for individuals of all faiths and beliefs, including in Eritrea. Our Ambassador in
Asmara raised the issue of arbitrary detentions of members of the Christian community,
including the Pentecostal Church, with the Eritrean Ministry of Foreign Affairs on
20 May. It was also raised with the Minister of Information during the EU/Eritrea
Article VIII discussions on 20 March. At the Universal Periodic Review of Eritrea
in January we also called for the release of all those arbitrarily detained for political
and religious reasons.</p>
