“Its unprecedented – we’ve never had a protest like this!”
By bus, train, plane and car, Eritreans from across Europe have come to Switzerland – determined to support the UN Commission of Inquiry into the gross human rights violations taking place back home.
Some 5,000 people are on the march. “I can’t even see the end!” one jubilant member told me.
Disabled veterans of Eritrea’s fight for independence and its war with Ethiopia led the way. All proud to be there – to make their mark.
The UN Commission reported that the regime’s human rights abuses were so severe they could amount to “crimes against humanity.”
“Issias to the International Criminal Court” – one of the popular slogans on the march.
Here two demonstrators are showing the terrible forms of torture their countrymen have had to endure.

Thinking of Geneva.
The world community should now come to its sense and take measures against the brutal dictator. It should not try to appease the dictator like it did with Hitler, but confront him and take drastic action by closing his embassies which he uses for espionage and collecting cash fro terrorism and harrasing the Eritrean people. Europe should stop accepting refugees on one hand and giving grants to the dictator so that he can send them more refugees. Enough is enough!!
