Not everyone is lucky in life....

This article is based on Dubai, but I am sure the same is happening here in Qatar.
I wonder what will it take for this people to be treated like human beings.
Sad to see that humanity can sink to such levels.

Lead me not into temptation....I can find it myself!!
These people leave their families and loved ones to earn enough to make a better life for their families.. They put up with hardships most of us can't imagine.
Supply and demand. as i've said before.. the embassies have a lot to answer for also..
Can anyone tell me, if there is a fixed minimum wage system???… If yes! Then how much is the amount?

like many others,eh?guess the Human Rights division in all GCC countries give year-long leaves to all their employees x-(
Keep smiling!

From my experience the Human Rights Org here has no power, and in fact people are more likely going to get in more trouble if they turn to them. They're just here in name only, not as an actual working body.
i meant about such a thing called 'Human Rights'....i believe they're totally absent in this part of the world.otherwise we wouldn't have to depend on our sponsors to get out of the country!if such treatment is meted out to the comparatively luckier lot like us,it's needless to say about the plight of the labour class.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
whats the use of Human rights organization in such a Country?
woah, the situation here is even more pathetic!!! u have to c it to believe it!!! 12-15 ppl & their belongings stuffed into a 4x4 room, no clean drinkin water, no drainage facilities, no nothin!
how can the suited ppl in these companies sleep well wen they r the 1s who instructed and ordered the poor upkeep of thousands of these squandered lives?
if they had to improve the situation, that would mean expense, which would mean lesser profits, which would mean no more flamboyant weekly dinners at the InterCon, or having to settle for the Merc S350 instead of the S500, or havin to carry and care for 1s own child wen a maid would’ve done all dat “work” earlier, or…!!! Damn it!!! Survival would b impossible!!!
The health and lives of so many drained in such destitute squalor so that v can live a superficially lavish lifestyle!!!
And oh yes, bring even more restrictions (read Family-day rule) on their movement and recreation. The least the authorities can do is provide some facilities any facilities with them as targets.
Y am I wastin my breath???
