We invite all to send an email to the Interior Minister Maroni to info @ internal . it. This is the text: "I, (name) I believe that a civilized country can not be an accomplice to a crime against humanity. Stop the massacre of Eritrean prisoners in Libya. "
The facts date back to June 29. In the prison of Misratah explodes the protest of the Eritreans. Clashes with police after refusing to supply personal information Eritrean embassy. During the night, about 250 people are displaced in the container trucks in the prison of Brak, in the province of Sabha in the Libyan desert. Many of them Eritreans rejected into the sea from Italy last year. Appeal to the international community to stop the mass expulsion, while still in jail violence and humiliation. What
Did we already know those rejected: locked up in prison in Libya. But the problem now is figuring out what will happen. From the dawn of June 30 because we lost track of them. The containers are loads of people started at five in the morning, leaving behind the gates of the detention camp Misratah. An army raided the cells at night. The last phone calls warning came at five in the morning. Then the silence all mobile phones were seized. The detainees were taken away at least 300. All Eritrean men and women, including fifty children. All were arrested en route to Lampedusa, who rejected into the sea last year and those arrested in raids Libyan police in Tripoli. The Eritrean diaspora, from Rome and Tripoli, he asked us to give the widest possible dissemination to the news, because the risk of mass expulsion at this point is very high. What to
Misratah pulled a bad air it was understood for some time. Since three weeks ago, the Libyan government had expelled the UN High Commissioner for Refugees United Nations, who just had regular access Misratah for the past three years. But trouble arrived yesterday. The military handed over to the Libyan embassy Eritrean prisoners modules for identification. All have refused categorically to give his identity to the embassy, \u200b\u200bfearing it was the first step to a collective expulsion. On their refusal the tension rose, erupting in a riot, with a tough clash with security forces. Has anyone tried to climb over the wall and escape, but the escape was soon quelled the protest and harshly repressed a truncheon blows.
Habesha According to the agency, which could reach by telephone from Rome some detainees Misratah, there would be thirty or severe injuries were taken away in containers along with everyone else. Habesha also reports of attempted suicide to avoid filling in the forms of identification. The general fear is indeed to be deported to Eritrea. Libya has suspended deportations to Asmara in the last three years, but the closure of the UNHCR office in Tripoli does not bode well. An informed source in Libya and contends that it is more likely to be deported to other camps Misratah to punish the rioters, and divide them into smaller groups at other centers. However the alarm over the risk remains very high mass expulsion. The Eritrean diaspora for many years through Lampedusa to seek political asylum in Europe. The situation is increasingly worrying in Asmara.

For three days the noise haunts me. It's a roll of wheels and a beat, vibrate and creak of needles. With a background sound to complain about men. I also wanted to see tonight. This is the sound of the deportations. The Libyan army stormed the prison in Misratah dawn on June 30, the day after the revolt of the Eritreans. Many were still sleeping. Took them away like that, about 300 people, some still naked, others injured by beatings the day before. And they have locked up in two trucks, in a container of iron, the kind that are used on freight trains and cargo ships. When, on the afternoon of June 30, I was able to contact them by phone, were inside the container.
The truck was running fast on the road, and each hole of the knife body slam on the trailer. A. did not speak English, but when he heard "Italy" has passed the phone to other, muttering something in Tigrinya. Thus, in the pitch dark of the container, in that oven which must be an iron box under the sun of the Sahara, filled with 150 people stuck on an another, passing from hand to hand, the phone has reached D.. It was the only escaped the phone searches. The last flush with the outside world. D. spoke English. "There are women and children fainted in the middle here - he said - we can not breathe." Me, I've seen those containers, in 2008, Sabha. And I've also photographed in secret. And as I saw them the Prefect Mario Morcone, the Interior Ministry, during his missions in Libya. And I have seen Marcella Lucidi and Giuliano Amato, in 2007 when they flew to Tripoli to sign the agreement on rejections - often forgotten - was wanted by the Prodi government, before the arrival of Maroni and Berlusconi.
I would put these guys in the container there. Indeed there putting their children. And then they would sit alongside the fathers and mothers at this time in Italy mourn the fate of their loved ones in Libya. Because - and this too often you forget it - every Eritrean who crosses the sea in Italy has a family waiting for him, that's sent by Western Union the money to leave behind the dictatorship. And in front of those names, the rationale for policy falters.
Based on what interest the State, Maroni will comfort a mother on that container directly in the prisons of the Sahara has its own child? Or even worse, his daughter, who may soon be broken, as well as beaten, his captors Libyans.
