in Internment Camps in Eritrea: BBC
Addis
Ababa, June 28 (ENA)-- Around 15,000 Ethiopians have been detained in eight
make-shift internment camps in Eritrea under the pretext that they have not
resident or work permit, BBC reported.
According to the radio broadcast on Tuesday, the Eritrean authorities
imposed unaffordable 600 Nakfa (Eritrean currency) fine on Ethiopians to be
released.
The radio quoted diplomatic sources as saying 30,000 Ethiopians
volunteered for repatriation.
