Achievement
Page
Since our organisation
has been set up in 2001, it has built a sound reputation among the
Eritrean community inside and outside UK as a source of inspiration and
an effective campaigning and lobbying body. Here are just some of our
recent achievements.
EHDR has:
·
Raised the awareness level of Eritreans in the UK
through its public meetings, demonstrations and various other campaigns.
·
Forced the daunting agents of the government of
Eritrea (PFDJ) to back off from disrupting independent public gatherings.
·
Successfully rallied for support of friends of
Eritrea to highlight the human and democratic rights abuses that are
taking place in Eritrea.
·
Challenged the Maltese government for deporting
Eritrean refugees back to Eritrea.
Our campaign, together with other human rights agencies and
Eritrean civil societies, managed to publicise the injustice all over the
world. Currently, the
Maltese government, after learning the deported were put straight in
jail, has temporarily stopped its deportation proceedings.
·
Forced the government of Eritrea to announce the
names of the war dead on 21 June 2003. Eritrea lost over 20,000 young men
and women in its recent war against Ethiopia (1998-2000). The family
members were not notified of the deaths of their children who perished in
the war until June 2003. EHDR-UK, and many other human rights and
pro-democracy groups, campaigned to have the Eritrean government release
the names of the war-dead.
