25 Years Later, Families of Eritrea's G-15 Prisoners Still Seek Answers
Twenty-five years after the arrest of Eritrea's G-15 political leaders, their families remain without information regarding their whereabouts. The BBC reports that former ministers and war heroes, including Petros Solomon and Mahmoud Ahmed Sherifo, were detained in 2001 without trial. Their children, now adults, describe the trauma of growing up as orphans and the ongoing uncertainty about whether their parents are alive. Human rights groups continue to demand transparency and release for these prisoners of conscience.
