Since 2001 Human Rights organizations, civic society, journalists and NGO have published enormous number of articles, reports, press statements etc. on prisoners and prison conditions in Eritrea. In the mid-2000s ERHEA took the initiative to group together the resources of the various websites in order to make them more easily accessible to the public and thereby facilitate public awareness of the gross human rights violations being perpetrated in Eritrea. Since then, EHREA has built up a large resource that has been drawn upon by interested people and organisations from every part of the world.
