It’s worth reading up on what’s gone on in Doha in the lead up to the World Cup. https://www.google.co.nz/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/sport/f...

Yeah, but those slaves are not the same sort of slave this article is about.

This article is about a specific set of rules enforced by a government, to single out one type of person, for the rest of their life. Indentured servitude should not be equivocated with slavery, which, by contrast, is for life, and was inescapable by law.
