This blog is dedicated to the 10anniversry of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscious in Eritrea. The 18th September of the year 2001, The Eritrean government detained elven of its loud critics  without a charge. The eleven critics of the government were Members of Parliament, some former Ministers, others top civil servants. Some belong to the inner circle of the founders of the ruling party (PFDJ) and the former liberation movement (EPLF).The accusations were of alleged crimes against sovereignty, security and the peace of the nation. Their whereabouts are unknown. On September 18, all independent papers were also closed, allegedly because of contravention of the press law. A few days later 10 journalists of these papers were detained.

Since that date , till today Many Eritreans activists around the world and human rights activist, The Un , EU and other concerned groups and individuals, raised their voices demanding the Eritrean government to unconditionally release all political prisoners. The president of Eritrea Isaias Afewerki rejected all attempts to end the detention and repeatedly insists in considering it as internal affairs.
