Dubai builders

Hey guys,

Another story of the truth out there. I'm sure it won't stop until everybody in the world knows and the authorities are shamed into admitting their guilt in practicing modern-day slavery in glamourous Dubai.

Here's a BBC Special Report:

I'm going to make Dubai postcards out of these photos and send them around, for example to some high-ranking people in Dubai, and also British and other Western executives wandering in this region looking for profits.

I thought America was bad in how they exploit illegal immigrants as cheap labour. By keeping the immigrants as illegals, they can refuse them rights and exploit them.

But whats going on in Dubai is 100 times worse. Dubai is practising state sanctioned slavery.

*) they lie to recruit workers, promising them much more money than they will actually get

*) they charge the workers travel and visa fees to put them in debt

*) they take away their passport so the workers CAN NOT go home

*) they force them to live in inhumane conditions, and work ridiculous hours in the intense heat for meager wages

*) they keep them for several years until the "debt" is paid off. The Embassy s and the government do nothing to help these people.

*) the worker deaths are in the thousands every year. These slaves are literally being worked to death
