HOW MANY MORE LIVES SHALL WE LOSE TO SUCH INDIGNITY BEFORE WE CARE ABOUT OUR PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!! WE KEEP SPEWING ANTI-IMPERIALIST RHETORIC WHILE WE WATCH OUR CHILDREN SUFFERING AND DYING IN MIDDLE EAST SLAVERY!

Here is another sad tale of my former student… Whoever can, help please! @LEgulu
————————

“Nabukenya Patricia graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Ethics & Human Rights in 2020 from Makerere University. She traveled to Saudi Arabia and worked there for 2 years. Poor working conditions forced her to leave. In May last year she travelled to Dubai to work as a maid. Immediately, it became clear her new workplace was even worse.

She asked the Ugandan agent who had helped her secure this job to get her a different one. The agent replied with veiled threats. ‘She either works or leaves. There are many desperate Ugandans looking for the job she has’. Nabukenya told a close friend that she was extremely overworked. She would start working at 4:00AM and stop at 7:00PM. The only break she would get was when she would be eating. She once complained that her toes and fingers felt like they were paralyzed from too much working and standing. She severally said she wanted to leave the job and return to Uganda. But she could only do this by escaping because apparently the contract she had entered with the company that got her the job required her to pay between UGX 4.5M- 5M if she wanted to leave the job. Despite this, Nabukenya was constantly telling her friends that she wanted to leave.

Her phone had been taken away. She could only access it two times a week. Sometimes, a week would elapse. For food she would be given 10 kilogrammes of rice per month. If it got done, she would fend for herself. Her father died last year, and she wasn’t allowed to return to bury him.

On Wednesday, 28 May 2025, her family was informed that she was in ICU in a hospital in Dubai. But there are contradictions that have concerned her friends and family. Her sponsor claims that Nabukenya came to her complaining that she couldn’t breath properly. She advised her to take water and go to her room and rest. Apparently, when she tried to drink the water she chocked on it. Shortly after Nabukenya fainted and was admitted in ICU. However, Nabukenya’s sister claims that they had been informed that she fell in the bathroom and blacked out. But an official from the company that contracted Nabukenya has disputed this. He says she just had a heart attack and that it was caused by a blood clot in her brain according to a hospital report.
The family has been told that she wont survive.

In a strange turn of events the hospital reached out to the family asking for the mother’s consent for her organs to be harvested and sold so the family can raise funds to transport the body.”
