Hundreds of migrant workers, primarily from Ethiopia, are being held in deplorable circumstances in a deportation center in Riyadh, which is tantamount to mistreatment.
At least three claims of fatalities in detention between October and November were the result of detainees complaining to Human Rights Watch that they are kept in cramped, incredibly overcrowded quarters for prolonged periods of time, and that guards have battered and tortured them with rubber-coated metal rods. The most vulnerable inmates should be released right away, and the Saudi authorities should make sure that incarceration is only ever utilized as a very last option. Any torture and other cruel treatment should stop right away, and it should make sure that the circumstances in detention adhere to international norms.
Five Pakistanis sentenced for guard’s death
Human Rights Watch specialist on refugee and migrant rights Nadia Hardman stated, “Saudi Arabia, one of the richest countries in the world, has no excuse for detaining migrant workers in appalling conditions, in the middle of a health pandemic, for months on end.” “Shocking video footage shows people crammed together; there have been allegations of torture and unlawful killings.
What’s even more disturbing is the authorities’ seeming inaction in looking into abuse conditions and holding people accountable.” Every respondent said that for months on end, the Saudi authorities imprisoned them and up to 350 other migrants in small, filthy quarters. There are two males who have been held for more than a year. Detainees said that because there isn’t enough space for everyone to lie down, some of them sleep during the day and others at night. The beds that the guards have supplied are dirty blankets.
