At least 41 Sri Lankan women migrant workers have been detained in Saudi Arabia for as long as 18 months, the Amnesty International said.
Three women have young children with them, and one woman is known to be in urgent need of medical care.
None of the women have been informed of any charges against them, nor have they been granted any legal support to better understand the length or reason for their detention.
Sri Lankan authorities must proactively take measures to ensure their immediate repatriation so that these women are able to return home and reunite with their families, the Amnesty International in statement said
