I am an expat and I fully agree with the view that it is undemocratic and violating ones human rights.

but pls think the other side,,,, what about the employee leaves the country committing a crime... there are cases guys leaving the country taking loan of 300,000 QR.... there are cases guys leaving after cheating sponsor company and siphoning money to his own account in home country.

Of course, I am not supporting one holds the passport of employee. But we should also worry whether we are violating the "human rights " of the sponsor too
