In some instances, Saudi border guards asked migrants what limb to shoot, and then shot them at close range. Saudi border guards also fired explosive weapons at migrants who were attempting to flee back to Yemen.

    A 17-year-old boy said border guards forced him and other survivors to rape two girl survivors after the guards had executed another migrant who refused to rape another survivor.

    Are people trying to flee to Saudi Arabia because it’s the closest border? I can’t imagine many people wanting to go there willingly.

      Saudi Arabia is technically a “rich” country, particularly compared to Ethiopia, Somalia or Yemen. What these people might not know, is that they don’t want immigrants, only temporary slave workers. So while it’s possible to find a job there and hopefully get paid and let go back to your country, they have zero interest in granting asylum (and citizenship!) to anyone.

      I’m sure if they knew that, they’d stop. /s
