Malcolm Bidali is a former Qatari migrant worker and the co-founder of Migrant Defenders, a Kenya-based civil society organization defending the rights of migrant workers in the Gulf. While in Qatar, he became an anonymous whistleblower about brutal conditions for migrant laborers before Qatar’s 2022 FIFA World Cup. In May 2021, the Qatari regime unmasked his identity and subjected him to solitary confinement for nearly a month for "disseminating false news and receiving payments from foreign agents to spread disinformation." In this episode, filmed at the 2023 Oslo Freedom Forum, Bidali shares his story and experience with the atrocious human rights violations perpetrated against migrant workers in the Gulf.
