Eritrean Orthodox cross

On Thursday, 19 May, Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) will join Human Rights Concern Eritrea, Release Eritrea, the Evangelical Alliance, Church in Chains and the British Orthodox Church to protest the continuing repression in Eritrea.

The Eritrean government is one of the most repressive regimes in the world and produces many of the world's refugees. Tens of thousands of Eritreans of all faiths and none have been detained without trial or charge, often in such makeshift facilities as shipping containers, or are simply held in open air pens in the desert.

CSW says: "Join us on 19 May, the 14th anniversary of the start of severe restrictions on churches, to let the world know we haven't forgotten about Eritrea.|

The Eritrea Protest Vigil 2016 takes place on Thursday 19 May, from 3.30-4.15pm, opposite the Eritrean Embassy, 96 White Lion St, London N1 9PF
