Anti-Saudi demo in US

d2ffe2da37ece53a5bdca19b0df05427_LHundreds of people have held a protest rally in the US city of Dallas to condemn Saudi Arabia’s mistreatment of Ethiopian migrant workers.

The protest took place on Wednesday in downtown Dallas amid a crackdown on undocumented immigrants including Ethiopian workers in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this week, Ethiopians held a protest rally outside the Saudi Embassy in Washington to express their anger over Riyadh’s crackdown on illegal immigrants in the kingdom.
Similar demonstrations were also staged outside Saudi embassies in Norway, Germany, Britain, and Ethiopia earlier this month.
On November 12, the Saudi police killed three Ethiopian migrant workers in the impoverished neighborhood of Manfuhah in the capital, Riyadh, where thousands of African workers, mostly Ethiopians, were waiting for buses to take them to deportation centers.
The Ethiopian government condemned “the act of killing innocent civilians” in Saudi Arabia, calling for an investigation into the killings.
Moreover, on November 16, a video footage emerged showing Saudi Arabia’s security forces beating Ethiopian migrant workers.
The video showed men mercilessly beating and punching Ethiopians on the streets and other undisclosed locations.
A person is also shown lying dead on the ground with a bullet mark in the chest.
