We remain concerned about the case of Aster Fissehatsion who is one of a group of
prominent public figures in Eritrea who were arrested after calling for democratic
reforms. We have directly, and through the EU, called on the Eritrean authorities
to unconditionally release all political prisoners, including Aster Fissehatsion.
The UK remains concerned about the human rights situation in Eritrea, including the
arrests of opposition leaders, journalists and religious figures. Eritrea featured
as a country of concern in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s annual human rights
report.
