Eritrea: More than 30 Christian prisoners released

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

More than 30 Christian prisoners who had been jailed for their faith in Eritrea have been freed. Dr Berhane Asmelash, an Eritrean human rights activist and Protestant minister living in the UK, talks to Focus on Africa’s Bola Mosuro about how Eritrea’s government restricts religious freedom, and how the picture has changed in recent years.
