Askofu Fikremariam Hagos aliwekwa kizuizini Tangu Oktoba 2022 akiwa pamoja na Padri Abba Mihretab Stefanos huku kukiwa hakuna sababu zilizowekwa wazi na mamlaka juu ya kushikiliwa kwao Kanisa hilo limekuwa likisisitiza kumalizika kwa mfumo wa utawala wa chama kimoja Nchini Eritrea na kuminywa kwa demokrasia. Eritrea haijawahi kufanya Uchaguzi Mkuu tangu ilipopata uhuru kutoka kwa Ethiopia Mwaka 1991, tangu hapo imekuwa chini ya utawala wa Rais Isaias Afwerki Mwaka 2019, Serikali ilifunga shule na hospitali zinazosimamiwa na Wakatoliki, wakisema kwamba mashirika ya kidini hayawezi kuendesha taasisi hizo. +++++++ Eritrean Catholic Bishop Fikremariam Hagos freed from detention A leading Catholic bishop in Eritrea has been freed from detention after being held without trial since October, reliable sources have told the BBC. Bishop Fikremariam Hagos was released along with a parish priest, Abba Mihretab Stefanos. No reasons were given by the authorities for their detention. The Catholic Church has repeatedly called for an end to one-party rule in Eritrea, and for democracy to be embraced. The Catholic Archbishop of Asmara and a small congregation gathered to welcome the clerics after their release. Eritrea has not held a national election since it gained independence from Ethiopia in 1991. It has been ruled since then by President Isaias Afwerki. His regime has been accused of human rights abuses - including violating religious rights. The bishop had been detained since 15 October after he returned to the capital, Asmara, from a trip to Europe. In 2019, the authorities shut Catholic-run schools and hospitals, saying that religious bodies could not run such institutions. Catholics make up about 4% of Eritrea's population. The church is one of only four religious groups allowed to operate in Eritrea, along with the Eritrean Orthodox, Evangelical Lutheran, and Sunni Muslim groups. Source: BBC
