NHRC seeks sponsorship rule changesDOHA:
Qatar’s National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) has called on the authorities to amend the sponsorship rules saying they impede the implementation of certain key provisions of the labor law. It has also cited repatriation of foreign workers by their employers without any justification and summary termination of job contracts of some as being against the spirit of the labor law.
The study-cum-survey of the rights body reveals that a vast majority (48.7 percent) of those interviewed said that workers run away due to low salaries.
While another 47.7 percent of the surveyed said that joblessness was the main cause of their escape from their sponsors.
