See previous Quote. Invariably overseas workers are lucky if they get paid at all. I imagine they are regularly beaten, probably have to buy their way out of "employment contracts"
which they can't afford to do, and forced to work umpteen hours a day every day, with little food or water. Health and safety is probably non-existant.
Sometimes you can try and polish a turd; not this one.
This turd can be polished ... but only sometimes.
I've been looking at the issues faced by foreign workers in Saudi over the last three or four years (Mostly looking at India and Philippines), some stories being positively horrendous, most pretty neutral, but some working out very well for the migrant workers as they run up a load of debt then sod off without paying. They're only fucked if they want to go back, fairly rarely being turned around at the airport unless the bank or loan company has already made a court complaint against them. If they're travel banned, they can't leave legally so can end up in a serious mess.
The bad cases see people having a struggle to get paid and suffer pretty much everything else in the quote, and a good number have that abuse to put up with. The worst are either raped and/or killed, a few even being executed when they kill their rapist/otherwise physically abusive boss. Even reporting a rape is dodgy ground as the victim is quite likely to end up as a defendant and punished as if she did something wrong.
A very slightly polished but generally very smelly turd.
We can add a little more stink to the toilet - Saudi funds and supports terrorism (Murdering people out shopping and so on), and even offer sanctury to many wanted criminals - but only mass murderers, terrorist supporters/funders, and other assorted gits if they claim they did it for Islam.
Bit hard to find nice things to say about Saudis, or at least the ones that think up crackpots rules and those that want to follow them. As for the people that deliberately abuse foreign workers - Do I really need to clarify my thoughts about that load of cunts?
