Visit DUBAI ๐ฆ๐ช Street Art, Galleries, Events, by sakyamuni on Apr 4, 2016 18:45:27 GMT 1, Apart from the number of cases where migrant workers have their passports taken from them by their employers... It's against the law to do this in the UAE as it is in the UK. But tragically this and worse happens everywhere even in affluent areas of London. So much so that it was only last year that the British government passed the modern slavery act and according to this article there are c.13,000 slaves living in the UK. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/29/13000-slaves-uk-four-times-higher-previously-thoughtHere's an example of one such person's story of coming to Britain to find her freedom taken away. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-26769349I'm not doubting this happens much more in the UAE than the UK, but we should open our eyes to what's happening on our doorsteps first. Letiss, I fear you're missing the point: you can't compare a situation that is the result of criminal activities, even if sometimes Governments don't do as much as they should to put an end to it and a system that is the result of an official regulation established and promoted by the State. Recent improvements are still not sufficient to protect foreign workers. The kafala sponsorship system, which operates in all Gulf Cooperation Council states, ties migrant workers to individual employers who act as their visa sponsors. In practice, the system severely restricts workersโ ability to change employers. The system gives employers inordinate power over workers by entitling them to revoke migrant workersโ sponsorship at will, thereby removing their right to remain in the UAE and making them liable to deportation. Under new regulations from 2010, workers covered under the labor law can switch employers in certain cases. However, domestic workersโwho are excluded from this reachโcannot transfer employers before their contract ends or they receive their employerโs consent.

Visit DUBAI ๐ฆ๐ช Street Art, Galleries, Events, by sakyamuni on Apr 4, 2016 14:34:58 GMT 1, Always the same excuse... The issue is not to judge another culture. The only valid question you need to ask yourself is: do I think that living in a place where domestic workers have little or no rights, women can be "disciplined" by their husbands, opponents can be sentenced to years in jail for a comment on twitter, is that what I believe is a normal place to live? Is it what I wish for myself, for my friends and family ? And why would it be different for others ? Some countries have different approach, some may take more time than others to reach the goal, but that doesn't mean you can just say "it's another culture" and end the conversation. Or is it just because you don't care as it happens far away and you know you won't have to suffer from it ? And, just as a reminder, countries like UEA are far from countries suffering from western's interference. Quite the opposite lately I would say. To quote a recent Human Rights Watch report: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) often uses its affluence to mask the governmentโs serious human rights problems.

Visit DUBAI ๐ฆ๐ช Street Art, Galleries, Events, by sakyamuni on Apr 4, 2016 13:02:32 GMT 1, So this is what you guys call progress ?
Domestic violence is permitted under UAE law. Article 53 of the UAE's penal code allows the imposition of โchastisement by a husband to his wife and the chastisement of minor childrenโ so long as the assault does not exceed the limits prescribed by Sharia, or Islamic law. Article 56 of the UAE's personal status code obligates women to โobeyโ their husbands. In 2010, the UAEโs Federal Supreme Court issued a rulingโciting the UAE penal codeโthat sanctions beating and other forms of punishment or coercion by husbands on their wives, provided they do not leave physical marks. The October 5, 2010 court ruling states that, "Although the husband has the right to discipline his wife in accordance with article 53 of the penal code, he must abide by conditions setting limits to this right, and if the husband abuses this right to discipline, he shall not be exempt from punishment." The court also found the man guilty of "abusing his Shari'a rights" when disciplining his wife because of the severity of that attack. The judgment states that, "The court, convinced of the appearance of injuries on the bodies of the plaintiffs, has overridden the defendant's right to discipline due to his use of severe beatings." In effect, the Supreme Court validated the penal code's legalization of domestic violence, but found that in this case the abuse went too far.
Why are you criticizing the implementation of Sharia law in a Muslim country? I am not criticizing anything, just quoting some statements. The issue of sharia law in a Muslim country is not the topic here. The issue is that UAE ratified all the human rights treaty forbidding such legislation and yet they maintain this provision, and the supreme court legalize it. States are free to ratify or not international convention, but once they do they should expect to be challenged in their implementation. This is no "civilization battle" or the West trying to rule the world, this is just today's international regulation. On a side note, you may not be aware of it, but quite a few places in the world had to shake a bit the "moral order" in order to gain some freedom... But maybe you regret the time when the church in Europe could sentence someone to death for blasphemy in two seconds. The wisdom of God they called it... Good old days

Visit DUBAI ๐ฆ๐ช Street Art, Galleries, Events, by sakyamuni on Apr 4, 2016 12:00:36 GMT 1, Things are just getting better and better
In August 2014, the UAE issued a counter-terrorism law that will give UAE authorities the power to prosecute peaceful critics, political dissidents and human rights activists as terrorists. The law classifies a broad range of peaceful and legitimate conduct as terrorism offenses and provides for the death penalty for, among other things, undermining national unity.
The UAE continued to use a repressive 2012 cybercrime law to prosecute critics of the government. On March 10, 2014, a court found Emirati nationals Khalifa Rabia and Othman al-Shehhi guilty of criticizing state security on Twitter, sentencing them to five years in prison and fining them 500,000 AED (US$98,378). The day after Rabiaโs arrest, the government-linked Emirati television channel 24.ae aired a piece analyzing in detail his Twitter account, accusing him of โaffiliation with secret cells,โ and referring to his use of Twitter hashtags such as #UAE_freemen as evidence.
On November 25, the Federal Supreme Court sentenced Osama al-Najer to three years in jail for charges that included โdamaging the reputation of UAE institutionsโ and โcommunicating with external organisations to provide misleading information.โ Al-Najer had criticized the June 2013 conviction of 69 Emiratis with ties to an Islamist group and was quoted in a Human Rights Watch press release that contained credible allegations that the detainees had been tortured during interrogations.
In January 2014, authorities denied entry to a Human Rights Watch staff member and placed two others on the blacklist as they left the country in the immediate aftermath of the release of Human Rights Watchโs 2014 World Report. According to UAE immigration law, the blacklist includes the names of individuals prohibited to enter the country โfor being dangerous to public security.โ
