The Center for Democracy and Human Rights (CDHR) in Saudi Arabia, which does not permit Judaism in the country, has issued a statement wishing Jews "a very healthy Passover celebration." CDHR director Dr. Ali Alyami wrote, "Even though this occasion is celebrated mostly by people from the Jewish faith, in reality it’s an occasion that transcends all cultures and faiths."

He said that "the struggle against slavery may have started thousands of years ago [but] it never stops and must not until we are all free from fear, oppression, hate and looming ideological threats."
