[Hyperion]

I'm a black-belt in cyber insults, you've no idea what you're getting yourself into. I'd advise that you not to give yourself a coronary and discuss Qatar, as per the threat title.

Trust you me, I won't even break a sweat. Loss will be all yours.

Grow a brain.

Isn't the passport of a person held by kafeel in KSA? What exactly would someone report in such case?

He can report that his legal documents are being held against his will (is it against his will?)

There's no "discriminatory" policies, all are equal under the law.

In an ideal scenario, yes. The reality is far different.

Officials in Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy have been using offices on the 38th and 39th floors of Doha's landmark al-Bidda skyscraper – known as the Tower of Football – which were fitted out by men from Nepal, Sri Lanka and India who say they have not been paid for up to 13 months' work.

In the world's richest country, per capita, bureaucracy is used to enslave poor foreign labourers, who are prevented from leaving. As acknowledged by the US state department in its report on trafficking, Qatar has pledged itself to tackle the problem by reforming outdated labour practices that tether workers to sponsors, even if they are being badly treated. In May, officials promised to insititute a new contractual basis for employment and an end to the system whereby workers can leave Qatar only with the permission of their local sponsor. Changes are yet to happen and in the meantime some workers continue to suffer in conditions that amount to forced labour.

Report commissioned by Qatar government largely concurs with findings that workers are being subjected to serious exploitation. A long-awaited report has criticised Qatar's controversial kafala system as "no longer the appropriate tool for the effective control of migration".This negative assessment of the system, which binds workers to one employer, carries all the more weight because it is the central finding of a report the Gulf state commissioned in response to international outrage over its treatment of migrant workers.

Pay close attention to the word "official" there.

Further more BS, already explained that these reports are biased earlier in this thread

All of the GCC countries are an open market for slavery, sex slavery included, for some reason they like Iranian women too (Not my cup of tea), it could be due to historical reasons, after all they were told that "Persian" women are fair (Maybe they were at some point), etc. etc, its actually one of the reasons that Muslims invaded Persia and fought so hard, for women as well as wealth. I don't remember when exactly but it was before I left Iran, I remember that one of the Mullahs were involved in human sex trafficking. What interests me the most is Islam special attention to sex, slavery and clauses that could easily absolve Muslims of the sex crimes they're committing. I gotta handed to you, you guys sure do have an interesting system!

@Chak Bamu I have just read your reply to my post in the other thread and I just want to tell you that you've got it completely wrong. I don't break any rules, you guys (I'm not saying you in particular) can't compete with me on an intellectual level and resort to ban.

The Qatar Govt acknowledges the exploitation of migrant workers. Whats BS and biased about the Govt report itself?

You better!

The "black belt Internet troll" failed to see the sarcasm.

That's a bad start if you asked me.

All is bullcrap --- and we should take your word as gospel?

Again by reading that article you can see how extremely biased it is, government promising fixing issues don't make Qatar a slave state as people like to call it, I bet the workers there have better life quality in Qatar than their own countries. And still reports like this are not trust worthy

You acknowledge the problem first, then you take steps to rectify/solve it. Why is there a need to fix things, if according to you, there's nothing wrong, in the first place? The Qatar accepts that the migrant workers are being exploited and thus seeks to correct it, on international pressure.

I lived here all my life, you didn't, so yes you should take my words.

Btw gospel is corrupted.

There no problem to acknowledge, these are most likely steps to make immigrant workers situation improve, and there's always room for further improvements, no one's perfect as far as i know
