BBC: Religious persecution in Eritrea
The government seems to have decided that anyone who does not follow a certain standard is an enemy of the people, is an enemy of the state.
It is afraid that people who consider their highest allegiance to be God, at some point may not be patriotic and follow the state's instructions.
At a time of growing tension, both with Ethiopia and Sudan, it seems the Eritrean government is determined that nothing, not even religion, should fall outside their control.
