Human Rights Violations committed pre2001
If we had raised our voice when the 1993 protesters were arrested, when the disabled protesters were killed, when the ELF fighters and others were kidnapped from Ethiopia & Sudan, when the Jehovah Witnesses were arrested, when innocent civilians were kidnapped and disappeared from the Western lowland, it would have been difficult for the EPLF/PFDJ to pursue its persecution with such vigour. To show that the gross human rights violations committed since 2001 continue those of previous years, EHREA compiled documents, reports and witness statements posted on various Eritrean websites during the last six years on human rights violations related to the period 1991- 2001.
Crimes committed against innocent fighters and civilians by former veteran (ELF and EPLF ) liberation front leaders during the liberation struggle between 1961-1991 are also included. We urge veteran leaders of the ELF and the EPLF to acknowledge the crimes they have committed against the Eritrean people.
The resources of this website also includes accounts of the atrocities committed against Eritrean civilians by successive Ethiopian governments
