Mining company Bramco had been blacklisted by the Bahraini government after its owner had been asked repeatedly to settle outstanding salaries for his employees. The company had allegedly not been paying employees' salaries, some for up to a year.
As of February 2019 many men were surviving on food aid from their embassies. For many of the workers, their employment visas had expired and they were therefore no longer legally resident in Bahrain.

..the company which employs staff from India, Bangladesh, Nepal and the Philippines, has been blacklisted by the government – and the owner, who is currently abroad, could not be reached for a comment.
The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre attempted to invite the company to respond to the allegations, but the company could not be reached over publicly listed email addresses or phone numbers.
