Ethiopian migrants imprisoned in Saudi detention centres have been forced to live in crowded cells and use their cell floors as toilets, a rights group reported this week. Among the detained were children, pregnant women and babies, who have all been held in appalling conditions. Amnesty International gained the information after interviewing 12 detained Ethiopian migrants via a messaging app between 24 June and 31 July. None of the pregnant women who spoke to Amnesty said they had received adequate healthcare during their detention. She said that pregnant women were eventually allowed to see a doctor, but were put in metal chains and tied in pairs.
