Unofficial translation

Asylum seekers from Eritrea who have security grounds as a rule must be given refugee rights in Sweden .TheMigration Board’s legal chief declared in a new legal statment.

So far, a majority of those in need of protection from Eritrea gained the status of temporary protection .

In the legal latest legal statement (RCI 16/2013 ) the Migration Board confirmed that Eritrea is one of the world’s most repressive regimes .

Meanwhile, it is very difficult to get ”country information” from Eritrea because the country is closed and there are no international organizations operating in the country .

Considering security grounds therefore, it shall be advised that great caution and uncertainty should be interpreted to the asylum seeker’s favor.

Today, majority of the asylum seekers from Eritrea are granted temporary protection but with the new legal decision  the protection granted should be refugee rights because of political , religious reasons , gender and sexual orientation , genital mutilation and HBTQ reasons.

Getting protection in Sweden as a refugee instead of temporary protection has certain advantages for the asylum applicant.

– It will be easier to obtain Swedish citizenship and travel documents can easily be issued which provides greater opportunity to travel and be reunited with his family , said the Migration Board’s legal chief Fredrik Beijer.

Despite the difficulties in obtaining reliable information about Eritrea , it is clear that the situation in several ways deteriorated , especially after the conflict with Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000 .

National service , a sort of compulsory military or community service , play a central role in many asylum cases from Eritrea. All serving or expected to serve in the national service is denied the right to travel . The regime considers simultaneously illegal exit, desertion or deviating from national service as a political crime against the regime.

Unlimited National Service has become the main cause of flleing the country.  The system of national service is arbitrary and attempt to escape from it is severely punished by the decree shoot to kill policy.

The upper limit for national service has risen in recent years and is now up to 67 years for men and 57 years for women . According to Amnesty International women in military service  are regularly exposed for rape and other sexual abuse. There are also reports that children  the 15 – and 16 -year-olds  are recruited as military

The State of Eritreans fleeing to other countries in the same region has also deteriorated over time .

In a legal statement from May 2013 of this year was that deportation to Eritrea only takes place if the applicant himself wishes to return and has a valid travel document .

Nytt rättsligt ställningstagande om Eritrea

Asylsökande från Eritrea som har skyddsskäl ska som huvudregel ges flyktingstatus i Sverige. Det slår Migrationsverkets rättschef fast i ett nytt rättsligt ställningstagande. Hittills har en majoritet av de skyddsbehövande från Eritrea fått statusen alternativt skyddsbehövande.

I det rättsliga ställningstagandet (RCI 16/2013) slår Migrationsverket fast att Eritrea är en av världens mest repressiva regimer. Samtidigt är det mycket svårt att få landinformation från Eritrea eftersom landet är slutet och få internationella organisationer är verksamma i landet. Vid prövningen av skyddsskäl ska det därför råda stor försiktighet, och osäkerhet ska tolkas till den asylsökandes fördel.

I dag beviljas en majoritet av de asylsökande från Eritrea skydd som alternativt skyddsbehövande, men med det nya rättsliga ställningstagandet ska, enligt huvudregeln, skydd beviljas som flykting om det finns skyddsskäl på grund av politiska skäl, religiösa skäl, kön och sexuell läggning, könsstympning samt hbtq-skäl.

Att få skydd i Sverige som flykting istället för som alternativt skyddsbehövande innebär vissa fördelar/skillnader för den sökande.
— Det blir lättare att få svenskt medborgarskap och resedokument kan lättare utfärdas, vilket ger större möjlighet att resa och att återförenas med sin familj, säger Migrationsverkets rättschef Fredrik Beijer.

Trots svårigheterna med att få fram tillförlitlig information om Eritrea står det klart att läget på flera sätt försämrats, särskilt efter konflikten med Etiopien 1998–2000. Nationaltjänsten, en sorts obligatorisk militär- och samhällstjänst, spelar en central roll i många asylärenden från Eritrea. Alla som tjänstgör eller kan förväntas tjänstgöra i nationaltjänsten nekas rutinmässigt utresehandlingar. Regimen betraktar samtidigt illegal utresa, desertering eller avvikande från nationaltjänsten som ett politiskt ställningstagande mot regimen.

Nationaltjänsten har blivit allt längre och kan i dag ofta överstiga tio år. Systemet med nationaltjänst är godtyckligt och försök att undkomma den bestraffas hårt. Den övre gränsen för national–tjänst har stigit de senaste åren och är i dag upp till 57 år för män och 47 år för kvinnor. Enligt Amnesty International utsätts kvinnor i nationaltjänsten regelmässigt för våldtäkter och andra sexuella övergrepp. Det finns även rapporter om att 15- och 16-åringar rekryteras.

Läget för eritreaner som flyr till andra länder i samma region har också försämrats över tid.

I en rättslig kommentar från i maj i år fastslogs att utvisningar till Eritrea endast får genomföras om den sökande själv önskar återvända och det finns giltiga rese­handlingar

    Asylum protection to victims of the Eritrean regime not for the people who came to Sweden and work closely for the Embassy to spy on the opposition or to make fund razing to the killer government. Sweden has to re-examine some cases to identify those who abuse asylum case to work with and for the Embassy. Eritreans who live in Sweden should work with the government of Sweden to expose those who sing, organize activities to fill the portfolio of the Eritrean regime. Those who help the government directly and indirectly should not get the protection in Sweden. These people cannot be our brothers and sisters if they helping our sisters and brothers to be killed at home. These people give all information about the activates of Eritrean individuals in diaspora and many diaspora Eritrean being detained on arrival at the Asmara airport by security forces.

      You should see those that seek asylum here in the U.S. Many of them turn around and support the same regime they fled. Looks like most of them are simply leaving for economic reasons. Sadly most of the antics by the opposition has turned them away. We need to reflect on this.

    It is a good news but Sweden should device a system to tackle those who support the regime and organizing meetings and events for the regime to raise fund. Sweden should follow closely the activities of the Eritrean regime and ban any illegal meetings, the regime in eritrean help in prison Dawit Yesaqe for more than 10 years but they are still organizing events in Sweden like General Sebaht. How could one country defense minister organise in another country without the knowledge of the Swedish government.

    Diana Da Bologna,

    I just give you a good advice for not being good informed , if you say in Asmara Agame to insult the Eritreans who oppose Higdef believe me you end up in the hand of Demhit and they will beat you till you never repeat that word in your life. Ask yourself who the President is..Temben who the advisers are from Tigray and Gojam. The unofficial Bank Director of Eritrea is from Adi Grat so you should know who you are and who the leaders are. Little knowledge is very dangerous Diana of Higdef. Diana , if you love the system of Isayas what a hell are you doing with us who left our country because of him. Supporters and those who oppose the regime all are Refugees? Go home and build dams and roads for sure you don’t have any other profession in Italy .

    Wezero Diana,

    I thought when someone get older be more wiser but in your case is the opposite. How I feel sorry for you as a woman who came 1984 at the age of 0- 25 now age 31-60 still do not feel the pain of Eritrean people, who suffer under the regime who have no hope in Eritrea but leave the country in all directions. Just close your eyes for 20 seconds and put yourself in Eritrea as a child, boy, girl , mother, Father , woman and a man … what do you see ?..for sure you see the pictures you want to see …dams and roads building in Eritrea , one school built after another, children playing happily in play grounds, mothers dancing for the dictator, Isayas make tour in Gash Barka, Sawa graduation in colourful way. Now open and see the reality in the ground. Dams and bridges have been build for having news in TV Ere to manipulate the diaspora Eritreans to collect money. who built them? Eritrean young people ,who should be in schools and Universities , with empty stomach , under very difficult conditions, without safety shoes and clothes. Children who should be in school and kinder garden are spending their time to buy a piece of bread by standing at the government shops. Mothers who look very sad , traumatized by the news everyday they hear about their children in Sawa, Sudan, Sinai and elsewhere in the world. Teenager who should enjoy their best time walking along side with their boyfriends and girlfriends have been raped by the retarded colonels , halefti Ginbar etc. Mothers, Fathers who want to give the best advice and help to their teenage daughters and boys have been denied the right. Isayas makes multiple tours in Gash Barka and give order and instruction to engineers how to build bridges and order to farmers how to work on the field and the result we still cannot produce food for 4 million people with a land many times bigger than Israel. Diana , you are from the generation either you as a n adult or as child left Eritrea when Eritrea needed every Eritrean to fight for independence. Now children of hademti or hademti came to Europe and gave birth to YPFDJ hademti produce garbage YPFDJ and you make a loud voice in Europe as if you love your country. You don’t feel the pain of Eritrean in Sinai raped by Arabs, tortured in Egypt and Libya, mistreated everywhere they are. My problem is not Isayas , he will go sooner or later but Eritrean people have to live with such people like you inside and outside Eritrea because we can’t deny you the way you deny Eritreans the right to live. I hope you didn’t bring garbage YPFDJ in the world who say Baba Isayas, Sawa Festival and Baba Yemane. I hope and pray .we have already many idiots YPFDJ(Hitler Youth) in Europe and America.
