A conversation on the history of slavery in Qatar | Special Interview

[@karim_wafa]

I’m a Bahraini historian on the History of Slavery in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf. It’s great to see someone else talk about this topic!

[@UrielBenIsrael]

Hi @karim_wafa do you have any ancestorial history with slavery? If so would you be interested in a brief interview?

[@saltee3694]

Very articulate and informative, thank you!

[@ForcedMember]

Absolute lies, slavery very much still exists in Qatar, just look at the world cup construction

[@Guide_ToParadise]

They got payed it’s not slavery the stadiums aren’t going to build themselves. The people that died is because the heat of Qatar and I’m not even sure if the death amount is true.

[@Guide_ToParadise]

It’s absolutely not slavery.

[@ForcedMember]

@@Guide_ToParadise When your passport is taken from you and you start with a debt that keeps going up, you are a slave. Keep trying to convince others that it isn't still an issue in Qatar.

[@ImpImpImpImpimp]

@@Guide_ToParadise sure... And Qatar is a transparent country with freedom of the press. Journalists can go and investigate these issues and report, right? And the courts protect all rights for these migrants...

[@ImpImpImpImpimp]

Wonder if this topic will be discussed by Al Jazeera?

[@alnaama85]

nice interview

[@GENZNEWS1]

From the number of comments we already have the idea rather then the message

[@donnatate6327]

They have a soft version of the real ugly truth and used this brother to be the face to sale it😢

[@londinromani6407]

There was NOT, and there is NO slavery in Qatar
