Amnesty report says how Eritrean soldiers extrajudicially executed civilians and sexually enslaved women for months after a peace agreement last year. Eritrean troops allied with Ethiopia’s government have “committed war crimes and possible crimes against humanity” in Tigray, rights group Amnesty International says. In a report released on Monday, Amnesty detailed how Eritrean soldiers extrajudicially executed civilians and sexually enslaved women for months after the signing of a peace agreement last year. “The serious violations documented in this report amount to war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity,” the rights watchdog said. During a rare news conference in Kenya earlier this year, Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki dismissed accusations of rights abuses by Eritrean troops in Tigray as “fantasy”.
