Eritrea Christians Missing After Mass Detentions

“Twenty Christians, including young children, were reportedly still missing Wednesday, June 13, more than two weeks after being detained by Eritrean security forces for allegedly attending a prayer meeting of a banned independent church.”

Human rights watchdog Release-Eritrea UK reportedly said that security forces raiding a Christian home expected to find Christians participating in a prayer meeting.  When police “failed to uncover such activity”, they “decided to detain everyone” in the home and surrounding neighborhood, MNN quoted the watchdog as saying.
