I suggest they go to the Human Rights Office here or the Labour dept. with a copy of thier contract to see where it says their employer can raid their accommodation and set up 'Big Brother' cameras.
Human Rights is such a grey area in Qatar unfortunately. This has to change as the Rest of the World is watching Qatar regarding this very issue. Qatar is near the top on various lists for the evidence of slavery, lack of workers rights, and on various lists and charts that the U.N. compile etc......
Companies bring in a labour force, but do not give them the basic human rights and then they treat them as sub-human. It is disgusting.
If the company was that concerned about illicit behaviour etc and they had evidence, or feel they had a case then why did they themselves not contact the Police?
They were obviously just acting on rumours as they would not like their company to have a court case etc cause it 'looks bad' on them.
In Qatar its all about public image, does not matter how a work force is treated, as long as the company has a positive image in the community. Lets hope if this is true then now that company has a very dented public image.
If it happens another time get the girls to take pictures as evidence.... Maybe a little difficult I know and it too is a grey area.
