The Lebanese government marked International Human Rights Day, 10 December 2016, by deporting Sujana Rana, a Nepalese migrant domestic worker involved in the struggle for the rights of migrant domestic workers. A fellow labour worker activist, Rosie Limbaugh, remains in custody, also facing deportation. An international campaign has been launched to stop the forced deportation of Rosie and calling for her immediate release. This crackdown on migrant workers is only the tip of the iceberg with millions of migrant workers all around West Asia continue to face brutal exploitation and repression (see here, here and here).
