U.N. Says Eritrean Gov't Committed Crimes Against Humanity
----------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations says the government of Eritrea has committed crimes
against humanity. The crimes against civilians since 1991 include
enslavement, imprisonment, enforced disappearance, torture, persecution,
rape and murder, all aimed at keeping leadership in power. Eritreans are
among those attempting to flee to Europe as part of the greatest refugee
crisis since World War II.
