Middle East may look like modern society on the outside, but that fails to hide the horrors which are present. I know the story of one of my friends who went to Saudi Arabia. He was promised the job of a pumber, but he ended up in a goat farm. His passport and documents were taken away and he was not allowed to contact home. He was kept in slave-like conditions without any salary or adequate food. He managed to escape after four years of torture, but he told me that there were so many like him in the farms and most of them die there without the knowledge of anyone back home.
   What you said is often happens in south eastern Europe (Russia). I know a lot of stories about people been abused same way as you said, but they mostly work at bricks handicraft factories which situated in hidden places.
   Just resently saudi women was allowed to drive a car (just several months ago), can you imagine that? So I am not surprised that slavery exists there. I also consider PDRK as slavery labour camp. A lot of slaves live at our Earth, no doubt

Yup.. I heard about such instances from Chechnya and Daghestan. The Muslims there enslaved ethnic Russians and forced them to work in brick factories and mines. I thought it will be better to give these two republics independence from Russia. They don't contribute anything to the Russian economy, and at the same time a large part of the crime in Russia is being committed by the people from these two regions.

Yes, slavery exists all over the Middle East. But it is prevalent in Africa - Morocco, Western Sahara, Mozambique.

Cool

She left her family in order to provide for the family even though it is against her will to be away from them and now this happens.  I mean, what happened to her was really really terrible, her boss put her body in the fridge after she died and for one long year, her body stayed there. What do you think about these guys? I am really sad right now, I know how hard it is to work in a foreign country. Here's a link:

Well slavery exist but with your topic i dont think slavery is the right term. Usually middle east country not all of them do abuse their employees, I think thats one of the fetish of those Abusive employers.

Slavery is you submit your self and letting your dominant do anything on their favour.

"Formal" slavery is more prevalent in North Africa than it is in the Middle East actually, or at least that's what I got from some investigative docus. With the Middle East it's more that the workers are being abused. Prior to this chilling incident, it's been quite common to hear reports of workers having their passport and papers confiscated by employers and then not being paid for their work - practically slavery.

I think it's the system there (and to some extent the culture) that allows these abuses on foreign workers to continue and that's what need to change. There are good enough employers there. A cousin worked in KSA (which many say is the worst when it comes to worker protection) for 2 years and he was just fine. Even converting can't account for the treatment since even the Hindu Nepalis were okay. But then again, he's a guy and it was a construction company. Domestic workers (who are almost always female) seem to receive the worst treatment.

Not a Duterte fan but glad for what he did. It is diplomatically costly but it caught people's attention since it forced the Kuwaiti government to react (which is basically them telling Duterte he's overreacting). Hoping this would eventually lead to changes that would help many foreign workers there.
