There should be a mass global public campaign to let everyone know that people will boycott Qatar 2022.

Air Koryo has or had flights to Kuwait. NK slaves in KW too?

Maybe Qatar Airways could fly to Pyongyang.

I wonder which kind of agreement have the Qatari government with NK. Instead of "oil for food", "oil for slaves"?

so what happened to the other 'slaves' from Indian Sub continent?

I'm sue they wouldnt declare Slavery 'Haram' in the GCC, but more like Bid'aa to own a fellow Muslim as a slave.

Makes sense in their guilty conscious to have a kuffar from NK.

The question is why would a wealthy country like Qatar employ slaves in the first place?

They could afford to pay them UK minimum wages

and a prevailing and very very tangible sense among almost all of them of considering most of these workers as lying, cheating ***turds, hence they consider them below themselves. Racism is a very real issue here. Walk into any Mcdees / other factory food outlets and watch how even their kids talk down to the philipino / thai staff there. It is ingrained deep in their brains since childhood I am afraid. Once a person does not consider another person as someone of his own race / rank / equality, well then you can expect almost anything from that person cant you?
So minimum wage is really just the tip of the iceberg here.
