Along the lines of the previous questions—some of which actually almost took the words out of my mouth, so I will try not to repeat—I've been struck not only by the nature of the testimony and actually the chilling and graphic nature of the testimony. The thing that has been going on in my mind is that, as you mentioned, Eritrea is like the North Korea of Africa.
Eritrea has imprisoned more journalists than any other country in the world, save maybe for Iran, and because we may not know more about it fully, maybe even more than Iran.
But there is an ongoing culture of impunity with respect to Eritrea. On the G-15 detention and imprisonment, we don't even know how many may have died there, as you've mentioned. All these things raise for me the question: why is it that these horrific human rights abuses in Eritrea are simply not on the international radar screen?
I'm delighted that we are holding these hearings, but I'm troubled by the fact that this cri de coeur that you've raised here today, and that's so necessary, is something that's just not being addressed by the international community. Be as indicting as you wish of the international community in your response. I ask myself why such a compelling human rights issue is not being sufficiently or even at all addressed and redressed internationally.
