Child Slavery and Camel Jockeys in the Persian-American Gulf…………
“Ten year olds forced to risk lives racing camels in UAE. Children as young as ten years old are being forced to take part in dangerous camel races in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), new photos released today by Anti-Slavery International can reveal. The photos show children racing at the Sweihan camel race track and even show a child narrowly avoiding being trampled by a camel. A total of 12 races using under 18 year olds took place on a single day and were part of the ‘Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed al Nahyan Camel Race Festival’ at the Sweihan race track in Abu Dhabi on 9 February 2010…….” Anti-Slavery.Org
Some adults need to explain to these potentates that they just have to give up their nasty hobby. Or maybe get their own kids to ride their frigging camels.
