A group of ses and immigration activists in the government to stop the question from being included and they say the question could put fame in the minds of immigrants that their information could be shared with Law Enforcement agencies lets go live now to patty kohei that correspondent is in washington d. C. So donald trump is go to a very favorable looking Supreme Court but theyve gone against him. They have unanimously and this is really the decision that everybodys been waiting for all through the term because it is going to have such a huge impact in the future so basically the bottom line is this the constitution says the government has to count how many people where they are every 10 years so thats coming up in 2020 this really matters because it determines how many members of congress youre going to have representing you in your state and more importantly it to term and how much federal money you get and that is has a huge impact so we saw all the Trump Administration wilbur ross the commerce secretary come out and say we need to add this Citizenship Question even though it has been there for decades because of fear that theres voter fraud he said we need to enforce the Voting Rights act well the Supreme Court said no you made that up basically they looked at the record and they said that he basically fished around and tried to find that rationale that he was going to put this question on there and the reason why theres Government Data that shows that as many as 6000000 mostly hispanic people wouldnt descend in that census so their communities wouldnt get that federal money they wouldnt get that representation in congress so now the Supreme Court has said you can change you can and the question but you have to have a legitimate reason to do it so theyve sent it back down to the courts what this means is it seems likely that the 2020 census is going to be mailed out without that citizen quest Citizenship Question on it because according to the government theyre out of time they need to start printing these forms by the end of this month so they left open the possibility it could eventually end up on the census but practicality practically speaking it probably wont be this time how do you live in washington thank you. Weve got a lot more to come on this out as their news hour including protests grow louder by the day in honduras over the sorry state of its health and education systems.

That Amnesty International has accused the government of eritrea of intimidating and heresy in critics who live in exile and they include eritrea that to us who live in the u. K. In sweden and in kenya has more now from the kenyan capital nairobi. Or tamil bieber waldheim a not so shes never enjoyed the freedom she fought for she was 17 when she joined eritreas rebellion and fought for independence from ethiopia she seen here in one of the rebels mountain hideout in the 1980 s. Independence came in 1901 but she says freedom did not if they want to kill you they can kill you automatically. She owned a factory but she didnt join the governing party or contribute to its funding she says shes been harassed ever since including here in kenyas capital nairobi where she lives in exile she says eritrea is ambassador to kenya of terrorism and had her arrested by local police. Isnt it tonight he took he saw was like 56. 00 they. Had caught the same things he tried to deport us. Rights activists say that the kind of harassment that a bieber says shes experienced here in nairobi is just the tip of the iceberg and that eritrean critics of eritreas government you are living in exile all around the world everything only harassed intimidated and even beaten by government supporters so as a reporters rights group Amnesty International says its documented cases of harassment and intimidation of eritrean human rights activists over the last 8 years has published a report and its research is say those in kenya the u. K. Sweden and some other European Countries a most risk yet their government hes gained of exporting their repression from from its territory to another country and it doesnt look good. And it doesnt look good to any kind of country where it is repression is happening the report document seemingly coordinated threatening tweets from staff at eritreas embassies. Its ambassador in kenya didnt agree to give us an interview. Bieber says the harassment has made her more critical most of our activist colleagues here in nairobi were too scared to speak to us. Shes campaigned for 4 of her friends from her days as a rebel who were students arrested in eritrea she doesnt know if theyre still imprisoned or dead. The same fate she says awaits her if she ever goes home malcolm webb aljazeera nairobi kenya. Right we can speak to daniel meccan and hes director of the Eritrean Law Society a professional association of eritrean lawyers who live in exile and hes joining us live from geneva presumably daniel the story that weve just heard is a very familiar one to you because you as an eritrean are also subjected to the same kind of harris meant from those who are affiliated with the authorities in a smart yes indeed its. A very familiar story i myself have being. Harassed and intimidated attacked. At least since 2002 since my time in south africa when i was involved in the. Establishment and the leadership of the new hughes movement and ever since. That time including now when i came to geneva. Before 5 or 4 to 5 years we have been experiencing these personal level its very sad that people like my sort of human rights defenders an archivist says we cannot even do our jobs even when we are outside of the country and its very important for the International Community for peace loving people of this. Of the world to know and understand whats happening against. Other eritrean human rights ministers ok i also would like to take this occasion by the way to tank the tank Amnesty International right ok they have done all right but daniel there was a glimmer of hope wasnt there just about a year ago when abby came into power in ethiopia one of the 1st things he did was to make peace with its years after working in eritrea end the conflict between the 2 countries but no no pressure seemed to been put on the authorities in eritrea to change their policies even though peace was made and they were apparently welcome back into the International Community. Alas far as the internal political dynamics of rotarian is concerned nothing has changed. Even after the new. Year period since july 2018 and a very good example about this is the recent attacks that have been launched by. The ambassador in kenya and the ambassador in japan for example there were out on twitter or attacking a certain event a meeting a major in a meeting of transit that took place in london in april 2019 of course including the minister of information of 3 a mystery a man a Government School all of these people were attacking attacking individuals activists who are just doing their primary job of exposing the human rights rises of their government so unfortunately in spite of the high level of them isnt we havent seen any change right and it seems very much as a the International Community more generally is almost rewarding eritrea i understand that its currently the chair of the Un Human Rights Council its meeting where you are in geneva i mean thats a supreme contradiction isnt it. Its a very very perplexing contradiction in the but i think is not cheering the council but its a member of the council but that by itself speaks volumes about the problem in the Human Rights Council of the United Nations in geneva if countries like. A very horrible record of human rights protection can become members of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations its very problematic thats whats happening as we speak now and we are just telling were just saying that membership in the him Advice Council itself should be seen as a shield as a protection of other responsibilities of the government which are now well established for example by the 2 major reports that have been published by the Un Commission of inquiry in 20152016 however in spite of this well established record of the interim government we also see that becoming a member of the a member of the Human Rights Council thats very sad indeed daniel methadone thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from geneva. Here if you employees of a resident least 39 members of an arm hire a Political Party after a failed rebellion in the northern province on saturday dozens of people were killed in the attack and the fighting that followed thousands of mourners gathered for state funerals of 5 senior officials who were among the dead including the army chief of staff as well as the provincial governor the Central Government has accused him her as former security chief of organizing the rebellion leader harding has this now from the ethiopian capital at this hour.
