An estimated number of people between three lakh and four lakh have been enslaved over the past 25 years in Eritrea, the head of a United Nations inquiry said on Wednesday. He said the people were enslaved under Eritrea's system of indefinite "national service". He also believed Eritrea was implementing a shoot-to-kill policy on borders to stop citizens from fleeing.
