Human Rights Watch has accused Saudi border guards of killing numerous Ethiopian migrants who attempted to cross the border to escape the conflict areas in Yemen.
They claim that since the start of last year, the border guards have taken the lives of at least 650 individuals.
A member of the organization named Nadia Hardman stated that the Saudi border guards used explosives and firearms against both freedom fighters and asylum seekers near the Yemen border.
The group has been gathering evidence for several months, following similar accusations made by the United Nations the previous year.
In March, the Saudi government refuted all claims asserting that its forces were responsible for the fatalities at the border.
