Human Rights Concern Eritrea hrc-eritrea.org are right when they say "More than 10,000 prisoners of conscience and political prisoners are believed to be arbitrarily detained. The vast majority held incommunicado, without charge or trial, and denied access to their families, legal counsel, or independent medical care. Thousands more have been subjected to enforced disappearance, with their fate and whereabouts remaining unknown for years, and, in many cases, for decades. These grave, widespread, and systematic violations, coupled with the complete absence of effective domestic remedies, underscore the continued necessity of independent international monitoring through the mandate of the Special Rapporteur. Until the Government of Eritrea demonstrates genuine respect for its human rights obligations and provides justice and accountability for victims, the mandate remains an indispensable mechanism for ensuring that the voices of victims are heard and that the international community remains engaged. Beyond those imprisoned or disappeared, the entire Eritrean population continues to live under a system of pervasive repression. Fundamental human rights, including freedom of expression, religion or belief, peaceful assembly, association, movement, and political participation, are systematically denied. Indefinite national service, arbitrary detention, torture, forced labour, and the absence of democratic governance continue to deprive Eritreans of their dignity and fundamental freedoms."
