Re: [RC] Under-age camel jockeys get caring hand - Gulf News article - Linda Hedgpeth
I thought you banned this
topic on RC.
Was that only when the UAE
was being portrayed in a negative light? Now that these slave
traders are being embarrassed into claiming they are taking positive
steps.....is it OK to post on this issue? How odd that you
discouraged the negative threads about this issue, but now that there is a nice
article portraying the UAE leaders as caring, compassionate, and wanting to help
and rehabilitate the little slave children.....you are the one who brings the
banned topic back to the list.
Do you think the UAE rulers
would have done anything on their own if it hadn't been for the
HBO program, or Ansar Burney, or probably the tons of letters and emails
they most likely received from around the world??? I find it ironic
that the very people the article points as the lawbreakers there are, in
reality, the rulers of the UAE. Of course they will never admit
any wrongdoing. Instead, it appears the rulers are pointing the
finger at the "agents" who bring the children into the country.....or the "phony
guardians" who claim to be their parents. Someone has to be
the scapegoat, right?
It will be interesting to
see what is really done toward stopping this atrocity and what will turn out to
be lip service. Wonder how long it will be before cameras are
allowed at the camel tracks?
