There are also multiple news accounts of such abuse victims being in turn "accused" of embezzlement or theft by their tormentors and deported, thus letting their abusive employers get off scot-free, with no real investigation by the legal/judicial systems.
BANFAN, no one is denying that justice frequently goes awry or favours the influential in Bangladesh or the West too, but that shouldn't prevent us from highlighting or pointing out these episodes (particularly when they go against our citizens) in the Middle East too.
That said, I too think that UAE has a better legal/judicial system than several of its neighbours -- they largely have to, because they are trying invite in foreign (often Western) money as they attempt to set themselves up as a financial hub/resort destination.

I agree with you completely. And that's why it's always better to not to make a stereo type blanket comment on the entire system. We can always go case to case basis and try to find out the injustice to take up the cases, specially against our people.
Ya, in fact UAE is doing it for quiet some time and that's why they have almost all nationalities living and doing business here for last at least 25 years. I talked about UAE since I know about it, and I have clearly expressed that I don't know about others to comment.
