ERITREA CONTINUES TARGETING YEMENI FISHERMEN



HODEIDAH, March 23 (Saba) - The Eritrean authorities have released
26 Yemeni fishermen over the last two days after they were arrested
on two boats in international waters in the Red Sea.

The Interior ministry reported on Monday that the fishermen had
arrived on a boat at Hodeidah governorate port.

Upon their arrival, they told the authorities that Eritrean
authorities had confiscated their boats and properties onboard them
and taken them to the Dafnin Island.

An investigation into the claims is underway.
