Eritrean and Ethiopian forces forcibly rounded-up more than 500 young men and women from four camps in Tigray's Shire town on Monday night, three aid workers and a doctor told news agency Reuters.
According to an aid worker, several men were beaten, their phones taken and money confiscated. One individual who lived in one of the camps and who was hiding at the time of the incident said soldiers stormed the camp at night and broke into the main entrance and beat up anyone they came across.
