A video of around 21 goldsmith workers from Jeddah Saudi Arabia pleading to the Indian government and activists to have them freed reached the inbox of the National Anti-Trafficking Committee (NATC), Kolkata Chapter, on October 22, 2019...
[A letter read] “We came to Saudi Arabia... [in] 2011, for a company named Musalli Gold... but for the past two years, things are not that well... our visa expired. Then they started paying our salary very late and now our food allowance has been completely stopped... [After workers applied for permission to leave] the company replied saying that they had not paid tax to the Saudi Government for 29 years and hence the employee would have to wait."
