(London
10-07-07) In an interview given to an Italian writer Mr Yemane Gebremeskel,
Director of the Office of the President of Eritrea, denied any religious
persecution in the country. Responding to a question regarding mass arrests of
believers Mr Gebremeskel stated that; ‘small groups have emerged in the past
seven, eight years. Most of these groups were beneficiaries of secret or
undeclared foreign funds. Most of them went against the national fabric: to
oppose the national service or to penetrate and sow division within the
traditional faiths. The Government subsequently requested all these faiths to
register officially, with honest declaration of the origin of their funds etc.
The periodic arrests, which are distorted and exaggerated, occur when members of
these fringe groups assemble illegally.’
