Saudi authorities are covering rampant human rights abuses at its migrant detention centers while continuing to arrest thousands of foreign migrants in a vicious witch-hunt, according to a report. AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Saudi authorities are covering rampant human rights abuses at its migrant detention centers while continuing to arrest thousands of foreign migrants in a vicious witch-hunt, according to a report. “Prolonged periods in overcrowded and unsanitary facilities may well be a contributing factor to this issue.”Rights groups confirmed in October 2020 that abuse and deaths among migrants were commonplace at the Saudi detention centers. The number of Ethiopian detainees held at the kingdom’s migrant detention centers has seen a sharp rise in recent months as the unwarranted witch-hunt has intensified. Graphic mobile phone images by migrants held inside the detention centers showed detainees crippled by the heat lying half-naked in small rooms with closed windows.
