There is thread on the Filipino forum regarding a househelp whose contract is finished and the British family she worked for has left Qatar. Her local sponsor doesn't want to give her an exit permit so she is now stranded here and is now living on dole out of her friends. Sadly our embassy's only advise to her is to submit herself to voluntary deportation which will subject her to 7 days in jail. So she has to surrender her dignity and suffer incarceration just to go home.
They say the deportation center is like a hotel but to me jail time is still jail time and it is trampling on the dignity of the innocent if they are sent to jail.
