I am a citizen of Eritrea. I came to Israel to work. I know that my stay in Israel is illegal and that I entered it illegally. I am not willing to return to Eritrea now. I would like to add that on my way to Israel, in Sinai, one smuggler named Abdul Aziz raped me for two days. He came and took me to his room at night and held a knife against my throat and threatened that if I don’t agree to have sex with him, he will kill me. So I was scared and I agreed. During the night he raped me twice. The smuggler did not use any kind of contraception so I’m afraid I might have gotten some disease. I would like to see a gynecologist. This smuggler came back the second night too, and took me to his room, and there he raped me twice. After two nights it ended.
