ERITREA: CHRISTIAN
DIES IN MILITARY JAIL
Torture, illness
claim life of believer denied medical treatment unless he
recanted.
LOS ANGELES,
February 22 (Compass Direct News) – An Eritrean Christian
died in prison last week, four and a half years after the Eritrean
regime jailed him for worshipping in a banned Protestant church.
From the southern port city of Assab, local Christians confirmed the
death of Magos Solomon Semere on Thursday (February 15) at the
Adi-Nefase Military Confinement facility just outside Assab.
According to one source, Semere, 30, died “due to physical torture
and persistent pneumonia, for which he was forbidden proper medical
treatment.” Semere’s death is the third known killing of a Christian
for his faith since last October.
