UAE Deports 80 Workers for Taking Part in Strike
Deutsche Presse-Agentur
DUBAI, 1 May 2006 — Some 80 construction workers, most of them Indians,
have been deported from Dubai after protests seeking better pay and
living conditions, reports said yesterday.
A worker from the Al-Ahmadiyah Contracting and Trade Company who asked
not to be named for fear of repraisals from the company said the men
were taken Thursday and Friday night.
“Police went to their rooms and took the men who had been more outspoken
during the protest and others of their co-workers just because they were
in the same room. They took them the way they were dressed to sleep and
did not give them time to change their clothes,” said the worker.
