Cypriot construction firm allegedly failed to pay wages of thousands of employees in Saudi Arabia and Oman

J&P Overseas has reportedly failed to pay over 6,000 workers in Saudi Arabia and Oman several months' worth of salaries, after being liquidated. J&P Overseas has also allegedly failed to renew its employees' work permits, leaving them unable to travel abroad and vulnerable to being detained by the local authorities. Some workers claim to suffer from life-threatening illnesses, but cannot seek treatment due to expired health insurance. 

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited J&P Group to provide a response to these allegations, it did not respond.
