Mankind is cheap in Gelalo. There is no healthcare for the sick, no comfort for the mind, and no sympathy for those in tears...The government brought the Diaspora youth to see a modern miracle built by the Warsay-Yekaalo Campaignthe miracle was the same modern hotel that was built by the blood and sweat of the prisoners of Gelalo....The totality of the mistreatment at Gelalo cannot be chronicled. But when the pitch dark turns to dawn and the entirety of the story is told, the Eritrean people will shudder. |

Scores (based on a scale of 0 to 7, with 0 representing weakest and 7 representing strongest performance): Accountability and Public Voice 0.67; Civil Liberties, 1.54; Rule of Law, 1.03; Anticorruption and Transparency, 1.71. Excerpt: The overriding problem in Eritrea today is the concentration of power in the hands of one manIsaias Afwerki. President Isaias and the PFDJ maintain an absolute monopoly on all forms of political and economic power.They control what few media there are in the country and have fenced of the population from the outside world while fostering a xenophobic hostility to foreigners to distract the citizenery from the privations of daily life and the persistent denial of basic rights and liberties....torture of prisoners is wide spread and systematic and that it is the standard form of military interrogation and punishment. No public officials have ever been prosecuted for torturing or abusing prisoners....
