World‘I don’t even know if my parents are alive’: Children seek answers after 25 years

Petros Solomon and Aster Yohannes, prominent Eritrean political figures and former independence-war fighters, were detained without trial 25 years ago and have not been heard from since. Their daughter Hanna says her father was arrested after signing an open letter calling for the constitution to be implemented and national elections to be held; her mother was detained after returning to Eritrea.
