These misleading claims are being used to solicit donations from the public under false pretenses, which undermines trust and potentially violates federal regulations.

SAMI SHIKOR is the host.

If George Ghebreslassie or anyone else were to ask refugees in Libya to get nude for sexual purposes, it could constitute a serious crime, depending on the circumstances.

Legal and Ethical Concerns

If Surbana Vision Media & Community Services Inc has been revoked by the IRS, then:

Using PayPal to collect “tax-deductible” donations is misleading unless the revocation is clearly disclosed.

PayPal’s nonprofit terms of service require valid 501(c)(3) status.

The organization is engaging in misrepresentation by falsely portraying itself as a legitimate nonprofit entity. Why It Matters

1. Donors may be misled into thinking they’re giving to a different or active entity.
2. Legal accountability becomes murky especially if the website collects funds under a name not recognized by the IRS or state.

This is a serious violation involving false claims and public deception.

The organization cannot currently receive tax-deductible donations. For over two decades, she has focused on advocating for justice, human rights, and the rule of law in Eritrea, often highlighting issues like political repression, indefinite national service, and the plight of Eritrean refugees.

She founded Human Rights Concern – Eritrea (HRCE), an organization dedicated to exposing abuses by the Eritrean regime and supporting victims.

Elsa Chyrum is active on social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @ElsaChyrum, where she shares updates on Eritrean politics, criticizes the government’s actions, and engages in discussions about regional stability in the Horn of Africa.

Her work has included campaigns against the Eritrean dictatorship, responses to critiques from regime supporters, and efforts to protect the rights of protesters and dissenters.

HRCE reported the wide and systematic use of torture in Eritrea, standing orders of a shoot-to-kill policy at borders, and the use of child labour and child soldiers. These critics often accuse him of spreading misinformation, lacking credibility, or being politically biased against Eritrea in favor of Tigrayan interests, particularly regarding his advocacy for Eritrean refugees in Tigray amid regional conflicts.

Even in the absence of formal charges, such accusations can trigger waves of repression, online harassment, and psychological harm particularly for Eritrean refugees who already face systemic marginalization and trauma.

Sexual exploitation of refugees is considered a criminal offense under both Libyan law and international humanitarian law, especially when it involves coercion, manipulation, or the exchange of sexual acts for aid, protection, or basic survival.
