Qatar detains Kenyan guard who wrote on laborers’ struggles
......... The arrest of Malcolm Bidali draws renewed attention on the limits of expression in a nation that will host the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup. It also highlights the challenge many migrant laborers face when agreeing to the opportunity of steady work in Gulf Arab states, in exchange for long shifts doing menial work in the shadows of skyscrapers they helped build.
Supporters say Qatari security forces detained Bidali late on May 4 and have not provided information on where he is.
