Eritrea: Govt. Rejects U.N. Rights Report As ‘Harassment’

Eritrea’s government has described a UN report on the situation in the Horn of Africa nation as part of “unrelenting harassment” and “weaponization of human rights in its crudest form against a developing country”.

It came after the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) said in a report that Eritrea’s human rights record “remains dire and shows no sign of improvement”.

In response, the delegation to the UNHRC said the unrelenting harassment of Eritrea for more than 10 years now through the unwarranted appointment of special rapporteur’s stems is linked with, the hostile agenda of its detractors.
