Ethiopian Women for Peace and Democracy (EWPD) Attention all Ethiopians that are concerned about the issues of Ethiopian refugees around the world. |
Open Leetter to Saudi Arabia Government 601 NEW Hampshire Ave., NW Washingto D.C. 20037 Telphone: Fax: (202) 342-0271 Dear Mr. Ambassador, We, Ethiopians in the Dispora are deeply saddened when we heared the beheading of three defensless Ethiopians, one woman Khadija Ibrahim Moussa and two men, Ali Mohammed Ali and Adel Adam Aman, by your governmnet. They were allegedly accused of killing an Egyptian and a Saudi Arbia men respectively and were sentenced to a brutal and cruel death this month in Saudi Arabia. It is reported that these Ethiopians did not get a fair trail, and were subjected to unjust and cruel living condition as many Ethiopians are experiencing in your country. Like many Ethiopians who travel abroad to earn a living, these Ethiopians were working to escape the unbearable poverty and destitute found in their homeland Ethiopia. In fact, many are not only escaping poverty but also the cruel and dictotrial rule of Melese Zenawi. Unfortunately, repeated stories have been told by many Ethiopians and other Africans about the notorious treatment and violation of basic human rights by the Saudi Arabia government. Ethiopian women have faced dehumanizing conditions ranging from loosing their identity, disappearance, being beaten, burned, raped and murdered. For some women committing suicide has become the only way out to end the cruelty, mistreatment and the oppressive conditions that they are facing in thier host country.
Ethiopian women and men living and working in your country do not have the protection of their own governments, they therefore are left at the mercy of the host country. Thus, we ask respectfully that your governmnet stops the beheading of defensless Ethiopians and respects basic human rights of working immigrants. We also demand that the working conditions which has been identified as modern day slavery, must be stopped and an international workers law be applied to all Ethiopians working in your country. |
