EU Parliament condemns human rights abuses in Saudi migrant camps after Telegraph investigation

The European Parliament has strongly condemned Saudi Arabia for holding tens of thousands of African migrants in slave-like Covid detention camps...

[in] a major blow to the Gulf kingdom’s international standing...

criticism rained down on the Gulf kingdom from across the European political spectrum. 

“Imagine the cruelty of being put in detention camps with thousands and thousands, chained... and using cell floors as your bed. For migrant workers from Ethiopia in search for a better future, this is the day to day reality,” said Samira Rafaela, a Dutch MEP. 

“Saudi Arabia has spent billions on PR to try and convince the world it respects human rights... 

"this country does not know what human rights means,” [Marie Arena, a Belgian MEP] said...

Urtasun Ernest, a Spanish MEP, said that the European Parliament wanted to send a clear message and reduce cooperation with Saudi Arabia, downgrading the EU delegation at the G20 summit in Saudi Arabia next month.
