Germany’s Oromo Nationals and Other Nationals Protest Killings of Immigrants in Saudi Arabia
A protest demonstration, organized by the Union of Oromo Students in Germany (UOSG) in collaboration with the Oromo Community in Hessen and the Oromo Community in Munich, strongly condemned the mass killings, torturing and brutal treatments and rapes by some Saudi citizens and security forces. The protest took place on 21 November 2013 in front of the Saudi Arabia consulate in Frankfurt am Main, Germany; the rally was attended by more than 60 people. Members of the Union of Oromo Students and other Oromo nationals from all parts of Germany chanted such slogans as: “Stop Killing Innocent Immigrants!”, “Free Our Brothers and Sisters!”, “Stop killing Our Sisters and Brothers!”, “Stop the Rape!”, “Enough is Enough!”
The call for the demonstration, including our demand letter, has already been sent to different organizations and diplomatic missions operating in Germany, including the City Administration of Frankfurt, Amnesty International, EU and the Human Right Watch.
The main aims of the demonstration were:
1. To demand the government of Saudi Arabia to stop inhuman act against Oromo and other national immigrants immediately;
2. To call for the police and security officers, who committed crimes against innocent civilians by using excessive force, be brought to justice;
3. To demand the government of Saudi Arabia to adhere to international conventions on the protection of the rights of all immigrants and members of their families;
4. To inform the population in Germany about the situation of the Oromo and other nationals in Saudi Arabia.
