Eritrean refugees in Libya – the recent proposal from Tripoli is insufficient

EveryOne Group and Habeshia, the Eritrean Refugee agency:  “Forcing the refugees to carry out “socially useful labour” without any guarantee of asylum or dignified living conditions is a further unacceptable violation of their human rights.

Europe and Italy must take them in and grant them asylum. In the meantime we are asking for an inspection to be carried out by the United Nations or the Council of Europe to check that the Eritreans are being held in humanely acceptable conditions”.

[everyonegroup.com] On June 30th we received news from Habeshia that about 350 refugees (most of them Eritreans) were being transferred by truck from Mishratah prison to that of Al Braq. There were about 80 children among them. (more on everyonegroup.com)
