(Cairo, Feb 01, 2011) Release Eritrea has just received disturbing news of serious threats to Eritrean and other Africa immigration detainee’s safety amidst the disorder during the protests in Egypt.

Many police officers are said to be facing threats from the public and have gone into hiding leaving police stations unguarded.
