Ethiopians in the US have launched a protest against the mistreatment of their citizens in Saudi Arabia, demanding improving their conditions.<\/p>\n

The protest, took place outside the Saudi embassy in Washington, was called upon by the US-based International Ethiopian Youth Union.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators stressed the need to stop the labor and humanitarian violations against Ethiopians in Saudi Arabia, \u201cin light of major violations taking place there\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ethiopians in the US <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Saudi authorities had begun to deport about 40,000 Ethiopians form the Kingdom, claiming that they had resided in the country illegally.<\/p>\n

Human rights organizations confirmed that they are currently detained in conditions that threaten their lives.<\/p>\n

Amnesty International had interviewed Ethiopian detainees who confirmed that they were ill-treated by the Saudi authorities, who held them in prisons without toilets.<\/p>\n

They were kept in overcrowded cells all day long without exposure to fresh air or the sun in \u201cconditions that did not exclude pregnant women, young children, or even infants\u201d.<\/p>\n

Amnesty also reported that some detainees were subjected to electric shocks, and others confirmed that they learned of the death of a number of children in detention centers.<\/p>\n

Compelling circumstances<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A large number of Ethiopian immigrants came from Yemen after \u201cthe Houthi authorities expelled thousands of Ethiopian migrant workers and their families to Saudi Arabia,” Amnesty International reported.<\/p>\n

According to Ethiopian immigrants, the Saudi police arrested them and confiscated their property, and beat them in some cases.<\/p>\n

Then the majority of them were transferred to Al-Hayer Prison Center, and from there they were transferred to Jazan Central Prison, and then to prisons in Jeddah and Mecca.<\/p>\n

The United Nations called on the Saudi regime to stop the deportations, given the risk that this might spread COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The authorities in Addis Ababa also called on Riyadh to stop arbitrary arrests until quarantine preparations are prepared to receive those detainees.<\/p>\n

For its part, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor<\/a> expressed its deep concern about the campaign of arrests launched by the Saudi regime against Ethiopian immigrants residing in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Euro-Med Monitor expressed its fear of the difficult conditions of detention in which they live in the Kingdom’s prisons.<\/p>\n

Since June 11, the Saudi police began a campaign of arrests targeting neighborhoods inhabited by Ethiopian refugees, without distinguishing between those who have legal evidence and those who do not, Euro-Med Monitor said.<\/p>\n

The organization also stressed that the mass detention and deportation campaigns against migrants from Ethiopia with and without legal documents without legal justification, would exacerbate their already dire situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
