The UAE criminalizes same-sex relationships, and the LGBTQ+ community faces systemic discrimination, including potential imprisonment or worse under laws against "debauchery" or "indecent acts." Public expression of LGBTQ+ identities is also severely repressed, and the legal system offers no protection for gender identity or sexual orientation.
The UAE’s economy heavily relies on migrant workers, who make up around 88% of the population. The kafala system, a sponsorship system that ties workers to their employers, severely restricts workers' rights. Many migrant workers face poor working conditions, wage theft, and forced labor-like conditions. Workers have reported confiscation of passports, exploitation through exorbitant recruitment fees, and unsafe working conditions, including extreme heat exposure without adequate protection.
The UAE ranks poorly in press freedom indices due to its restrictive laws on freedom of expression. Criticism of the government is heavily penalized, with severe legal consequences for those who dissent. The Cybercrime Law and provisions in the Penal Code criminalize acts of dissent, defamation, or "insulting" the leadership. This has led to imprisonment for journalists, activists, and anyone perceived to criticize the government, stifling freedom of speech.
Political opposition in the UAE is virtually non-existent due to crackdowns on activists and civil society organizations. The government employs surveillance, arbitrary detention, and forced disappearances to silence dissent. Human rights defenders and political activists often face arrest, torture, and imprisonment for their advocacy. Notably, the UAE has no free elections, and political parties are banned.
Joker : Whatever….
While there have been improvements, women’s rights remain constrained by personal status laws, which are based on Sharia law in matters like divorce, inheritance, and child custody. Women still require male guardianship in certain areas, although reforms have been made to reduce these restrictions. Female domestic workers, most of whom are migrants, face exploitation, including verbal and physical abuse, forced confinement, and wage theft.
There are numerous reports of the arbitrary detention of activists, political opponents, and suspected dissidents. Some detainees have reportedly been subjected to torture and inhumane treatment in detention centers, with limited or no access to legal representation. Families of those detained often face harassment, and trials are frequently conducted without due process.
The @NBA is in it for the money that comes from the poor and wage theft of immigrant workers. I hope Adam Silver sleeps well at night. I know I wouldn't.
Better than last years, Minnesota is the only one that looks bad
At least they’ve had the sense to not design them all based on City jerseys it looks like.
Or it’s a little more tasteful this year
Lakers back to back in season champs
The Wolves one is so bad
International Labour Organization and other rights groups have criticized the UAE’s kafala system, which ties migrant workers to their employers, leading to widespread exploitation, including wage theft, passport confiscation, and unsafe working conditions. You would expect that worker exploitation would be important given the number of African American players.
The cash grab from the emirates is so crazy. This league’s just getting taken over by money over talent and the love of the game
I mean they’re alright. Big step up from the pile of s*** they gave us last year. Granted it was only the first year of the in-season tournament so I digress
