Over the course of several months the NLC has interviewed...many more Musa garment workers than has the Jordanian Ministry of Labor...our interviews are conducted in safe locations where the workers are free to speak the truth. The workers confirm that they were stripped of their passports, which were confiscated by Musa factory management. Such human trafficking is an extremely serious international human rights violation...The Jordanian Ministry of Labor has not said why six Bangladeshi guest workers at Musa were arbitrarily imprisoned, beaten and then forcibly deported the very day after officials gave their word that the workers would not be deported. Another six workers remain in prison and are also threatened with forcible deportation.
