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

@Sithara that is also very common news from my countrymen. Some maids would even get killed or disabled as they attempt to escape. There was one who jumped off an apartment building. And not to mention the ever present risk of sexual assault. Even being male is no protection. Like I said the current system perpetuates this. Had it been in Europe those employers would have already been sent to jail. But then again, we know dhimmmis don't have the same rights as Muslims. And among Muslims, non-Arabs are less than Arabs.

@Palmholder There are actually reports of DPKR "loaning" away those "workers" to Russia and some African countries. If that don't count as slavery, I don't know what else will.

It's true. I have spoken to some maids who worked in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. They told me that 99% of the maids are raped by their Arab employers on a regular basis, and the Arab females don't have any sympathy for these maids. For the Arabs, any non-Arab is a sub-human.

Its very sad to hear that, and still its happening now. Maids are human too that needs respect for their job. They have family being left behind from their home country. They did not go to middle east to be treated that way. I hope those country should be fair to expats and people working in their Kingdom, this is a clear violations of basic human rights. Its unfair.
