A Catholic bishop was arrested by Eritrean security agents on Saturday morning at Asmara international airport after arriving from Europe, sources in and outside the country have told the BBC.
The government has not publicly commented on the reported arrest of Bishop Abune Fikremariam Hagos, who was ordained as the first bishop of Segheneity in southern Eritrea in 2012.
The Catholic Church has asked the relevant government authorities for the bishop’s whereabouts. The authorities are said to have informed the church that it was holding the prelate but did not disclose where or why he was detained. END.
