ASSAB, Eritrea — An Eritrean Christian died in prison the week of Feb. 12, four and one-half years after the Eritrean regime jailed him for worshiping in a banned Protestant church. From the southern port city of Assab, local Christians confirmed the death of Magos Solomon Semere on Feb. 15 at the Adi-Nefase Military Confinement facility just outside Assab.
According to one source, Semere, 30, died "due to physical torture and persistent pneumonia, for which he was forbidden proper medical treatment." Semere’s death is the third known killing of a Christian for his faith since last October.
