The Eritrean Movement for Democracy and Human Rights (EMDHR) is disgusted by the barbaric killing of, Habtom Zerihun, an innocent Eritrean refugee in Israel on 18 October 2015. Habtom was shot by security guard while crawling for safety during an incident in a bus station in Beersheba, Israel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WSNmbux6jI). As seen in another video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY-3e-Hraek), a mob of Israelis then brutally attacked him while bleeding to death on the floor of the bus station. No one attempted to either call an ambulance or to stop the abominable acts of the people attacking him. The heartless kicking and beating by the group of Israelis hastened Habtom’s death. The EMDHR joins the global outrage and condemns the senseless killing of an innocent refugee by coldblooded mob. We make the following demands to the Israeli government:

1. Bring the callous perpetrators of this savage crime to justice and this is not difficult to do as videos and human evidence is available. 
2. Immediate arrest of the security guard who shot the victim, Habtom Zerihun. Again a video evidence is available and there can never be an excuse to not bring the criminal to justice .
3. Repatriate the body of the victim to Eritrea and hand it to his family.
4. His family to be fully compensated for the brutal murder of their loved one.
