Why the Arrest of a Lebanese Doctor Should Terrify Every Visitor to the UAE

I looked it up and found more than “the one case” where it occurred. Apparently it happened frequently enough the government took steps to explicitly outlaw it in 2002 which indicates it was a practice that affected more than the one case you’re downplaying it as.

Admittedly this was 20 years ago and the government was taking steps to prevent it so I could believe the practice has mostly disappeared if given proof, but since we all know illegal behavior continues for a while after laws are enacted and enforced I’d still need to see that proof.

You’re argument about this not being real sounds a lot like when my countrymen claim our legal system doesn’t enslave people despite it being explicitly carved out in the constitution to allow it and prisoners being forced to work. It’s uncomfortable to face the truths but just claiming it’s the same in the face of evidence doesn’t help

Look, I spent a decade there, as an employee and as an employer. I know what UAE ministry of labor will do to a company in case if they get a single complaint but, hey, what arguments can I possibly find to change your mind? You will keep finding facts that support your point of view.

Somebody with an agenda told you "Dubai slavery" long time ago and it is now easier for you to follow the narrative formed in your head. I get it, but the reality is different.

I looked up cases of the event, found multiple instances of it happening, and found evidence that the UAE government responded to the existence of the event happening which confirms from the government sources that it existed.

I keep finding facts that support this view because the facts are still there. Why are you acting like this isn’t real at all? I even asked for some evidence that this is no longer occurring which I could believe given the UAE government has taken steps to combat it, but you just want to call people flat earthers.

At this point the only one who seems to have an agenda is you and your attempts to shut down any conversation around the topic
