Modern Slavery; Over 2000 East African Citizens Flown to Work in Dubai, Qatar Remain Enslaved in Confinement Centers in the Middle East with Expired Passports and Visas.
Excerpts from Facebook page of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
Today on what is supposed to be the Uganda's Independence day, together with fellow leaders and MPs, we visited our sisters who are being held in Al awir detention centre in Dubai pending their deportation. All they need is a flight ticket back home which costs about 200 USdollars (800,000 Ugshs).
In this one center alone are 600African girls (200 Ugandans and 400 of other Nationalities). There are 21 detention centres in UAE alone.
We traveled to Dubai for a charity concert which was meant to raise funds to return these people home after the government of Uganda completely ignored them.
Unfortunately, with the influence of the Ugandan Embassy in Dubai, this concert was cancelled on the last minute thereby crushing all their hopes.
Today we promised them that the efforts to return them home have not stopped. We shall stop at nothing to see our people returned home where they're loved and respected.
We continue to call upon all people of good will who can assist in this effort.
