Dictatorship in Eritrea forces the people of the country to abandon their homes and seek a better life elsewhere<\/h3>\n

\u201cA very significant number\u201d of Eritreans are fleeing a country \u201cthat is not in a situation of conflict or unrest\u201d to seek a life free from fear, the head of a UN-appointed commission of inquiry on human rights in the east African nation told the UN General Assembly on October 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat so many people feel the need to flee their birth place in order to live a decent life free from fear is an extraordinary indictment of the government that has controlled Eritrea since independence more than 20 years ago,\u201d Mike Smith, Chair of the\u00a0Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea, told the\u00a0Third Committee\u00a0of the General Assembly.<\/p>\n

Why people in Eritrea are forced to exit the country<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo elections since 1993. No independent press since 2001. Ongoing restrictions of all freedoms: movement, expression, religion, association. Arbitrary arrests with no fair trials or no trials at all. Forced labour; torture,\u201d those are the reason behind the mass exodus to Europe, according to Smith.<\/p>\n

The expert noted that the\u00a0report\u00a0of his Inquiry, presented to the UN Human Rights Council in June of this year<\/a>, \u201cgoes a long way to explaining why the number of Eritreans fleeing the country towards Europe has grown steadily since 2001 and has accelerated with a growth of more than 150 per cent between 2013 and 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe international community, in the form of the Human Rights Council, has responded to the dramatic nature of these findings by reiterating its deep concern at the ongoing reports of grave violations of human rights,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

He went on to say that the Council, \u201cin an unprecedented move\u201d for a county not at war has decided to extend the mandate of the commission for another year to investigate \u201csystematic, widespread and gross violations of human rights in Eritrea with a view ensuring full accountability including where these violations may amount to crimes against humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n
