OFWs In Riyadh Refused To Sign The Termination Letter From Their Company
The video footage of OFWs being harassed by police in Riyadh after refusing to sign the termination letter of their company went viral.
Some Filipinos work abroad to obtain a bigger source of income and to support the finances of their family. Their sacrifice is worthy, just to give their loved ones and family a better life. OFW’s expect to taste the fruit of their labor abroad when they come back in the country.
But in some cases, OFWs abroad were abused and harassed in the hand of their heartless employers. Some of them were not able to receive their monthly salary, they were also tortured, and the worst they have even no food to eat.
OFW Pautwasan Facebook page posted the video footage of Filipino workers in Riyadh that were harassed by the police after refusing to sign the termination letter issued by their company.
The Filipino workers in Riyadh were supposed to leave their work at 4 pm in the afternoon as usual. But suddenly some of them were called to report to the office and their work badge and “iqama” ID’s were confiscated.
In the office, the OFWs were forced by the company management to sign their termination papers but they refused to do so. The management called the police at 8 pm to the worker’s camp and the authorities took the OFWs without their iqama ID while the ID’s of other OFW were left in the office.
The police have taken the workers without iqama ID but OFW’s who’s filming the video did not allow the police to take their fellow Filipinos to be taken away. These OFWs is now facing a difficult situation where they need the help of the Philippine Government.
Here is the video footage that was taken during the heated argument between the police and group of OFWs.
