Inside Saudi Arabia's Detention Centres by RightChannel: 4:52pm On Aug 31, 2020 |
Images leaked to the Sunday Telegraph show emaciated migrants packed into cramped cells in the searing Middle East heat. Prisoners say they are 'treated like animals' by Saudi guards who beat them with whips and electric cords and toss away the bodies of migrants who died of heatstroke or suicide. Saudi Arabia came under pressure for deporting thousands of illegal migrants when the pandemic first arrived, and has since been cramming them in prisons to stop them spreading the disease in their overcrowded homes. One image taken on a smuggled phone shows migrants lying nearly naked on the floor of a filthy cell with dozens of people crammed into neighbouring rooms. In another room, a corpse lay on the floor covered by a blanket after a migrant died of heatstroke - with others allegedly struggling for food and water. 'It's hell in here. We are treated like animals and beaten every day,' said Abebe, a migrant from Ethiopia. 'My only crime is leaving my country in search of a better life. But they beat us with whips and electric cords as if we were murderers.' Another migrant said that 'we have been left to die here', adding that he had not been outside the area of a school classroom since March Others said they have received no medical treatment and that filth from the toilets was overflowing into the cells. Human rights groups have long warned that prisons are potential disaster zones because of the possible spread of the disease in dirty, confined spaces. According to the Sunday Telegraph, one of the prisons is in Al Shumaisi near Mecca, while another is in Jazan near the border with Yemen. Those two alone are thought to contain hundreds of people, and there may be more prisoners in other parts of the compound. Human Rights Watch said the migrants were being subjected to 'squalid, crowded and dehumanising conditions' at the detention centres. A petroleum-rich state such as Saudi Arabia had 'no excuse' for detaining migrants in such conditions, a spokesman said. Saudi Arabia's government has not responded to the claims. The UN said in April that Saudi Arabia had deported 2,870 Ethiopian migrants to Addis Ababa since the start of the pandemic. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8681787/Inside-Saudi-Arabias-detention-centres-migrants.html

It's very sad and unfortunate but when will Africans learn that arabs, chinese, lebanese, indians and whites don't like you? You keep flocking to their countries. To do what? Why will you travel to these countries just to be treated like animals? As Africans, we need to do better. African countries should launch a media campaign warning African youths of the dangers that await you abroad if you go there illegally. 2 Likes |

southniyikaye: Nothing is worth your freedom. I really don't understand how some of you reason. I don't know why Nigerians glorify hardship, suffering and abuse. If these illegal migrants were white, would the arabs have treated them this way? I don't know why Nigerians always reason like a conquered people. 5 Likes |
