Foundation Human Rights For Eritreans Calls For Sanctions Against The Following Organizations

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence showing the Eritrean regime has perpetrated or has been complicit in grave violations of human rights, not only against its own citizens but also against the people of Tigray. This threatens international peace and security. As a result, the Eritrean regime has been subjected to sanctions by the United States, which considered the war in Tigray an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United Sta/es”.

The EU has already instituted sanctions against the National Security Office of the Government of Eritrea under Major General Abraha Kassa, considering this organization linked to “serious violations of human rights”. This is highly appropriate, as underlined by the Special Rapporteur for Eritrea: The Special Rapporteur welcomes the issuance of targeted sanctions against specific individuals and institutions for their involvement in human rights violations, including for their role in the ongoing human rights crisis and military conflict in northern Ethiopia.”

The Foundation Human Rights for Eritreans therefore now respectfully requests that sanctions should urgently be instated by the European Union against in any case the following parties:

1.  Eritrean Defense Force (EDF);
2. People’s Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ);
3. Yemane Gebreab;
4. Hidri Trust;
5. Hagos Ghebrehiwet W Kidan;
6. Red Sea Trading Corporation;
7. Any other parties which fulfill the criteria listed in the Global Human Rights Sanctions
