Thursday February 22, 2007 ERITREA: CHRISTIAN DIES IN MILITARY JAIL Torture, illness claim life of believer denied medical treatment unless he recanted. LOS ANGELES, February 22 (Compass Direct News) – An Eritrean Christian died in prison last week, four and a half years after the Eritrean regime jailed him for worshipping in a banned Protestant church. From the southern port city of Assab, local Christians confirmed the death of Magos Solomon Semere on Thursday (February 15) at the Adi-Nefase Military Confinement facility just outside Assab. According to one source, Semere, 30, died “due to physical torture and persistent pneumonia, for which he was forbidden proper medical treatment.” Semere’s death is the third known killing of a Christian for his faith since last October.
