Exchange students illigally held in detention camp at the Blatien Detention Camp
Students in Blatien say there are 38 of them not 37

Here is a list of the Exchange students in the Blatien Detention Camp.
It is from a hand written letter they sent to the dehai mailing list. The translation from
Tigrigna is by a dehai member.

==================================

02-01-99

We are sending you the list below. The reason that made us write is
that our number here in this detention camp was 39, but you already
know that one of us, Gherekidan Zecharias, has passed away. Thus, we
would like to tell you that, at this time, our number is not 37,
instead it is 38. We are asking the government of Eritrea to make a
correction, especially in the radio, when it gets this note.
The reason being the student's life might be in danger and thus I am
asking for a correction on behalf of all the students.
