Dozens of Ethiopian Christians are facing deportation from Saudi Arabia after authorities raided a private prayer service in Jeddah, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).
The group was reportedly arrested in a private home in Jeddah in mid-December. Most of the 35 detainees are women, and three of them told the US-based group that they were strip-searched by police.
HRW said it spoke to three detainees, two women and one man, by telephone from prison.
One of them said the men were beaten, and also complained of inadequate medical care and poor sanitation at the jail.
