Earlier Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom had condemned Saudi Arabia for its brutal crackdown on migrant workers in the kingdom.

The Center for the Rights of Ethiopian Women (CREW) also expressed its concern about the condition of Ethiopian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia.

CREW condemning the racist, gross human rights violations that target Ethiopians appealed to the international community and all human rights organizations to take the issue seriously and urged Saudi authorities to stop torturing Ethiopian workers.

Foreign workers cannot change jobs or leave Saudi Arabia without the permission of their sponsors, who are often Saudi companies or individuals who provide workers to businesses for profit.
