The
Sudanese authorities deported around 80 Eritrean asylum seekers to
Eritrea. Sources say Sixty-four of them had gone through refugee
screening process few days ago in Shegraib refugee camp and obtained a
refugee legal status. Authorities detained the refugees in the last few
days while the refugees were entering Khartoum. Reliable sources say the
refugees were deported to Eritrea after being transported from Khartoum
to Kassala.
In
addition, Sudanese authorities in Ghedarif swept places frequented by
Eritreans and deported fourteen asylum seekers to Eritrea. It is feared
that Eritreans returned to their country are likely to face risk of
torture and other inhumane treatments by the regime.
