Helpless Pakistani Workers Oppressed by Sponsors in Saudi Arabia

Published on Feb 12, 2014

An Interview of Overseas Pakistani Workers who are oppressed by their sponsors in Saudi Arabia, their Sponsors (Kafeel) asking for bribe to just make a signature or issue a Sponsorship-Transfer letter. Situation become more worst when Jawazat (Passport Office Officials) arrest them and put them in Jail and treating them like animals, offering poor kind of food and water with money.

These people are purely legal, their iqama (labor permit) are valid for up to 8 months, they came to Saudi Arabia on legal work permits issued by Labor ministry & stamped by Saudi Embassy in Pakistan. Still these people are treated as illegals and arrested and asked for bribe by Saudi sponsors to proceed their jobs in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabian authorities need to control black market of visa trade if they really want to control un-employment of Saudi Nationals in Saudi Arabia. At one side they are arresting existing workers and at other side they are issuing more and more work visas every year.
