Eritrean authorities deployed last week 32 Yemeni fishermen in two wrecking boats and sources indicated that the fishermen arrived in Al-Hodeidah's Midi Port in a critical condition because of the inhumanly treatment by the Eritrean authorities. The sources mentioned that Eritrean authorities arrested the 32 fishermen along with their four boats while they were fishing in Yemen's regional waters. The fishermen were jailed in Eritrea and they were forced to pay fines. The Eritrean authorities also confiscated the caught fish, fishing equipments and foodstuffs on the boats. Further, they sent them back home over two wrecking boats and this posed a great danger to their lives especially when they traveled for about 200 km.
