The threat of deportation seems odd to me, given that the message the workers are sending is that under the current conditions they do not wish to stay.

I feel very sorry for the labourers who venture from their home country to seek better financial circumstances without access to reliable information about what the conditions will be upon arrival.

Recently when travelling I have found that foreigners no longer associate the gulf exclusively with Islamic terrorism, but more and more with human rights abuses and slave labour conditions. Given the wealth floating around in the region, it is appalling the conditions that these people are made to endure.
