EMDHR has sadly learned that there was a dreadfully intensive round up in Asmara, Eritrea on the 5 th of November 2004, which eventually culminated into a massacre of at least 20 youngsters. The report 1 reveals that hundreds more are in hospital most of whom are in a critical situation. Moreover, doctors and health workers are forbidden to leave the hospital ostensibly to hide this barbaric incident from the public scene.

Dear sir/MadamEMDHR is deeply saddened and concerned about this unfortunate incident and weeps for the vindictive and untimely lose of young Eritreans. Although we have been condemning the current government for gross human rights violations, this incident is totally unbearable.
It is our belief that this incident is a continuation of the oppressive human rights violations, which the current government has been perpetrating under different pretexts. By all standards, this recent dreadful episode amounts to all the worst barbaric and inhuman treatments that we have ever witnessed.
Dear sir/Madam
EMDHR condemns this episode with emphasis and calls on international communities, Human Rights organizations and diplomatic missions to condemn this inhuman act. We strongly believe that it is the obligation and responsibility of the international community to scrutinize and condemn such actions, and engage in all necessary measures to halt such mass execution from happening again.
Kind regards,
Director
