September 2016 marked 15 years since the Eritrean authorities arrested and detained, without charge or trial, a group of 15 government officials, political opposition members, and journalists. It has been 11 years since the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights (African Commission) issued any resolution condemning the continued arbitrary and incommunicado detention of those government officials, politicians, and journalists, and calling for their immediate and unconditional release.
