Details of the Identity of the prisoners

After 2001 (Gregorian Calendar), once political differences in the governance of the PFDJ was publicized, it is well known that imprisonment was ordered on the leaders and cadres who held political viewpoints different from those espoused by President Isaias and his followers. During this period, prominent among those who opposed the direction of President Isaias and had a role in expressing their opposition were 17 members of the PFDJ Central Committee 6; 9 members of the private press; and 5 embassy employees. Subsequently 5 other cadres with administrative roles were added —bringing the total of those arrested to 36. (This does not include the many innocent Eritreans held in other prisons.)
