Dubai is where you can literally see modern slavery.

If you're in the US you can probably feel it in the clothes you wear daily, and/or the food you eat.
Why call out the US? This is literally any country
US prison labor
It's crazy that slavery is still legal in the USA. You should just export it to the third world like the rest of us.
You can also just see it if you go to your nearest prison.
That's not a US specific thing, it's the exact same in pretty much all first world countries. Even if your stuff isn't manufactured by literal slaves, its build by Eastern European minimum wage slaves that aren't treated much better than literal ones.
Was calling out US for the slave prison labour
I have very little empathy for anyone who knowingly and willingly went to live there. You want to profit from slave labour, don't be surprised if you're treated as one of those slaves at some point.
Can't imagine willingly relocating to Dubai as a solo woman. Not that she should have to deal with this but I'm also not quite sure what she would have expected.
It says right in the post that it was her husband. Without knowing her personal situation and why she married him, maybe reserve judgement of her personal decisions and just have sympathy for someone who was beaten severely and consequently imprisoned for being a victim.
Everything is in the article: charges of consuming alcohol, in the shittiest muslim country. Also being a foreign woman that moved there to make instagram photos.
I don’t go to Afghanistan to play video games while drunk for a reason.
I usually don't read articles like this because there are so many bad decisions that lead to things like this and it frustrates me.
No person deserves to be treated like she was. Nothing can excuse her husbands actions. OTOH she willingly moved to Dubai where this treatment is not only legal but practically encouraged.
The leopards usually eat the faces of the ones hanging out with them.
Almost like moving to a theocratic shithole propped up by oil money and slavery isn't a good idea?
Wild, I know.
