Until last month Equidem investigator Geoffrey was a migrant worker in Qatar. He was detained and deported back to Kenya for trying to organize fellow labourers and rescue others from exploitative employers. Here he describes the humiliating and terrifying deportation experience.

Cheers to German national football players protesting the #2022WorldCup tarnished by #HumanRights abuses.
With 3 months to go, Qatar+@FIFAcom should pass rights reforms+pay compensation to families of workers who died to make the tournament possible:

More than three weeks since his arrest, Qatari authorities have charged Malcolm Bidali @Noaharticulates with receiving payments “by a foreign agent for the creation and distribution of disinformation within the State of Qatar.”
The Workers Cup Film retweeted
Malcolm, under his pen name Noah [@noaharticulates], has been vocal on the plight of migrant workers in the country. We call on the Qatari authorities to reveal his whereabouts and to ensure his right to due process is respected #Qatar

Great discussion with Adam Sobel #CULP210 @GUQatar about @workerscup & his experience living & producing a film #Qatar. Recent policy changes are “Incremental improvements”; responsibility of government, local and international companies for worker’s accommodations & welfare.
The Workers Cup Film retweeted
Recommendations include not permitting job change during the contract term; restricting the number of times one can change jobs; and the percentage of employees that can be allowed to change jobs. If accepted, all recent reforms in #Qatar will unravel.
