I have received anonymous email today, which stated that a boat carrying Eritrean refugees crossing Mediterranean Sea from Libya to Malta is facing a problem. The massage is dated Nov 10 2009 and stated “nebsi Adhin” the boat caught on fire and a lot of people are crying for help.
The distinguished Professor of African Studies, Professor of Law and former Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Commission of Eritrea Dr. Bereket Habte Selassie appeals to the Commissionaire of United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Mr Antonio Guterres, to intervene and stop the Libyan authorities from forcibly deporting Eritrean refugees in their custody back to Eritrea.
According to sources, a large scale round up of Eritrean refugees is taking place, in Khartoum (Sudan) since Thursday 12/07.
