Protest by South Asian Labourers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 2015

Protest by South Asian Labourers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 2015

Taken on 2015-03-10

Hundreds of South Asian labourers took to the streets in Dubai on Tuesday to protest unpaid wages and working conditions, prompting the emirate to mobilise riot police. Local reports said the striking workers ripped down corrugated iron fences at a development belonging to Emaar Properties and even came onto the streets to block traffic near the Dubai Mall. The sight of protesting labourers is jarring in a country where demonstrations and unionising are illegal and could easily lead to deportation.
