Whether you believe that we are getting close to this situation in the UAE or elsewhere in the world (Indeed, we may already be there), please consider sign the slavery business as usual petition. Signing the petition will help to raise the issue at the UN. Also, please forward the website to as many people as possible.

Syed Ali was in Dubai interviewing expatriate workers for a book. The day before he was due to leave, six strangers arrived at his flat and took him to the police compound. A 13-hour interrogation lay ahead ...
