Eritrea generates significant asylum claims linked to indefinite national service, political persecution, religious minority targeting (Pentecostal Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses), and draft evasion. UK country guidance on Eritrea requires careful independent analysis as conditions evolve.
Expert witnesses assess whether the appellant's specific profile — length of service, political associations, religious practice — creates a real risk on return. State protection analysis is central: Eritrea's governance structure limits independent judicial oversight and effective protection for perceived dissidents.
