Yes, very long years and very long miles, faraway from my beloved homeland… the innocent faces of my own people; I find great pleasure and enjoyment when I depict their daily lives on my paintings. The culture and faces the Eritrean people is engraved as a holy memory in my heart. They are the pearls of my paintings.

This is a list containing prisons in Eritrea where the government keeps prisoners of conscience. It is certainly not an exhaustive list of all the prisons in the country where thousands are kept without formal charges and without visitation rights. Those who die in those prisons are unceremoniously buried by the prison wardens and the government rarely notifies the next of kin.
