The intimidation of others by adherents of the dictatorial Eritrean
regime living in the Netherlands has now spread to include people outside the
Eritrean community. Within the Dutch
Eritrean community, there is a culture of fear.
Through its followers in the diaspora, the Eritrean government exercises
pressure on Eritreans abroad to support it with money and to silence critics of
its policies. A Dutch scholar, Professor
Mirjam van Reissen, has been threatened by Eritreans, together with several
others. She has complained to the
police. Journalist Sanne Terlingen also
reports that she has been the target of intimidating tweets. According to the UN, Eritrea is one of the
most unfree governments in the world, and human rights are massively violated.
