  Yes it's bad. Unfortunately a lot of countries are like this. Until we stop buying oil there's no way to make them change.

      I knew about it. I also knew Qatar isn't the only one. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafala_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafala_system. So I wondered if it was something else on top of that. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have similar records on human rights and treatment of foreign workers. Further afield there's Mauritania: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritania#Modern_slavery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritania#Modern_slavery
