Eritrea conscription still indefinite, says Amnesty

(BBC, December 2)Conscription in Eritrea continues to be indefinite despite the government saying last year it would be limited to 18 months, Amnesty International says.
The compulsory service, which often lasts decades, is the main reason cited by those who flee the country.
Eritreans make up the third-largest number of migrants trying to reach Europe, after Syrians and Afghans.
Amnesty said European states are increasingly rejecting asylum requests despite the reality on the ground.
