Saudi Arabia denied on Thursday allegations made by an organization in a report claiming that Ethiopian migrants had been assaulted while crossing to the Kingdom from Yemen, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The claims are “unfounded and based on unreliable sources,” an official Saudi source said.

The source deplored the false allegations made by some organizations about the Kingdom and the promotion of politicized and misleading reports.

Groups of people, who were subjected to gunshot wounds by armed groups to push them to enter the Kingdom, had received the necessary medical care, SPA quoted the source as saying.

Law enforcement agencies in the Kingdom are committed to human rights, and to providing humanitarian services to those caught violating border security and treating them in line with international human rights obligations, the source added.
