According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), at least 10 Ethiopians have already been executed in Saudi Arabia this year.
Fifty-eight other prisoners, most of whom have been convicted on drug trafficking charges, are being held in the Khamis Mushait detention facility, near the Yemeni border, and face the death penalty.
