This was declared today by Cynthia Abdon-Tellez, chairperson of Gabriela Women’s Party – HK as the COMELEC unveiled its plans for the AES in the two countries a few weeks ahead of its commencement on April 10.
“Glitches have been found in the test run on the AES done in Manila already. Compounded by the fact that no similar testing has been done overseas, COMELEC’s overconfidence may, in the end, result to derailing the democratic right to vote of the more than 130,000 voters in Hong Kong and Singapore,” she added.
Tellez said that it will be unfair for OFWs in Hong Kong and Singapore to become “lab rats for the AES” as the OAV will be conducted a month ahead of the national polls. She remarked that with hitches still unresolved, there is a big chance that the AES will not only slow down the election process, but worse, cause its failure in the said countries.
“You don’t play with our inalienable right to vote. If the AES is not working as it is foreseen to be, then the COMELEC must immediately do something about it instead of giving false reassurances of its success," she chided.
The group expressed that their worries on the AES is compounded by the lack of any backup plans if in case the AES breaks down during the election and counting period.
“As they said, HK and Singapore’s combined voters is 21% of the total registered OFW voters. If worse comes to worst, then 21% of the OAV voters will not be able to participate in the electoral process,” Tellez expressed.
Additionally, Tellez hit the COMELEC for waiting up to the last stretch before starting the preparations for the AES abroad. Yesterday, the commission announced the holding of trainings of deputized DFA personnel on the AES only this coming March in Hong Kong.
“As usual, the COMELEC is cutting it close. While trained election officers are necessary, how about information and education among voters? Last Sunday in our rounds among OFWs, it became evident that many OFWs are still unaware of the AES, what the process of voting is and how to make sure that their votes can be counted as valid,” she relayed.
Tellez said that these shortcomings may yet again result to disenfranchisement of OFWs like what happened during the registration period wherein the lack of massive information dissemination campaign has resulted to dismal turnout. Only the intervention of many OFW organizations in Hong Kong upped the rate on the last few weeks of the registration period.
“Promises are cheap. The COMELEC should just do its job swiftly and properly,” she concluded.#

Israel NGO Encourages Employers to Force their Non-Jewish Workers to Sign Loyalty Pledges to the Jewish People
Recently an Israeli NGO distributed leaflets in at least two cities calling on Israelis to force their non-Jewish workers to sign documents that pledge loyalty to the Jewish people.
Over the last month the Lobby for Jewish Values, an anti-gentile NGO, distributed leaflets in Safad and Ashdod calling for employers to force their non-Jewish workers to sign a “loyalty pledge” to the Jewish people. The leaflets urged Israelis to make sure that their non-Jewish workers are not idol worshipers and abide by the Seven Laws of Noah: prohibitions of idolatry, murder, theft, sexual promiscuity, blasphemy, eating flesh taken from an animal while still alive, as well as the requirement to have just laws.
The leaflets call on Israelis to force their workers to sign a legal document, which states that if they are caught violating the Seven Laws, their employer has the right to fire them without any warning and without paying compensations.
Rabbi Asher Idan who is behind the distribution of the leaflets in Ashdod claimed that the prohibitions are “only” designed to prevent idol worshiping, but an official in the Lobby for Jewish Values admitted that “the emphasis is on prohibiting hiring Arabs, especially the foreign ones [Palestinians], Chinese and Darfurians”.
Below is the translation of the agreement employers are encouraged to force workers to sign.
I am, the below signed, Mr. ___
Hereby confirm that I promise to uphold the Seven Laws of Noah, as they will be explained to me verbally, and that they are a pledge of loyalty on my behalf to the Jewish people and Jewish values,
and I acknowledge that if I am caught violation any one of them [of the Laws], my employer is entitled to fire me without a warning, and without compensation, without preventing any of the sides from suing,
and I acknowledge that this signature is a legal signature for any purpose,
and I acknowledge that this signature does not mean that I am allowed by the halacha [Jewish religious law] to live in this city, or in any other part of the Land of Israel, and I am here only for “purposes of work and employment”,
and I acknowledge that when it comes to living or requesting to live here in this city or in any other part of the Land of Israel, even temporary dwelling, I am obligated to move away [once the employment is completed] and report to my employer and receive his permission,
and any untruthful or forged signature here is a felony.
This type of religious intolerance seems to be a trademark in coverage of countries like Saudi Arabia, as this kind of blatant racism is ignored by the mainstream media when it comes to Israel.

The plight of Bangladeshi migrant workers in the Gulf
This post was contributed by Kashfia Rahman, a Bangladeshi activist:
Saudi Arabia and other parts of the world have neglected and mistreated migrant workers without being given the basic human rights.
Around 90,000 Bangladeshi migrant workers live and work in Bahrain, 10 per cent of the total population of that country. In the year 2006-07, these migrants sent $80 million in remittances home. But the recent murder of a Bahraini man by a Bangladeshi worker has sparked angry reactions from government officials and politicians. The Bahrain government has put a ban on recruitment of any further ‘untrained’ workers from Bangladesh. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Malaysia had already put restrictions on Bangladeshi laborers, sparked by earlier incidents. As often highlighted at seminars, foreign remittance is the second highest foreign currency earner for Bangladesh. But indifference from our embassies, corrupt middlemen, flawed immigration policies, lack of a strong government response and disparities in labor laws have placed hard-working men and women in international news headlines for the wrong reasons.

Lebanese rally to close ‘disgraceful’ retention center
Lebanon must immediately close a “disgraceful” retention center where refugees and migrants are held arbitrarily in appalling conditions, activists demanded Sunday.
Braving heavy rain, around 60 people demonstrated outside the General Security Retention Center, an underground facility under Beirut’s Adlieh Bridge. Protestors flanked by almost as many security officials held placards reading: “The Lebanese Guantanamo,” “Asylum is a right, NOT a crime,” and “General Security VS human security.”
Not considered an official prison, the facility, opened in 1996, has no hot water, natural light or fresh air, and in contravention to Lebanese law, male guards are tasked with supervising female detainees. Many of those who have been detained complain of physical violence from guards, poor nutrition and filthy living conditions.
Nadim Houry (video below), from Human Rights Watch, condemns the ongoing detention by the Lebanese General Security of three Iraqi refugees who were ordered to be set free by Lebanese courts.

400 Migrant Workers Strike in Bahrain due to Unpaid Wages
Nearly 400 workers employed in the company in charge of building the Isa Town flyover have gone unpaid for the last three months, the Gulf Daily News reported this week.
Last Wednesday (February 24), the workers who are employed by the Korean company Sungwon protested in front of the Bahraini Labour Ministry demanding their wages and a plane ticket home or employment in some other place in Bahrain. According to the workers who are mostly from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, their salaries haven’t been paid since November.
In mid-February when the workers threatened to complain to the Labour Ministry, their wages for November alone were paid. After this, Korean workers started leaving Bahrain and the workers are now afraid that the company is closing their office in Bahrain, without paying them their outstanding wages. The workers have been idle in their camps since mid-January because they have no work to do. However, the company promised them that their basic salaries will be paid, since the laborers are not to blame for the lack of work.
The workers lodged a complaint with the Labour Ministry and officials from the ministry promised them that Sungwon will not be allowed to close their office in Bahrain prior to paying them their wages.

Lebanon: “The rights of 90% of maids are violated”
Lebanese television NBN aired a 22-minute interview, on the evening of Monday 22 February 2010, with Dr. Ahmad Ayash, head of a psycho-social studies center, and Mr. John Cassabli, owner of a business which bring maids to Lebanon.
The latter acknowledged the detrimental role of many businesses in the plight of migrant domestic workers. He gave the figure of 90% of migrant domestic workers whose rights are not respected – mistreatment or given one meal per day or etc. He also mentioned cases of rape or sexual enslavement.
He added (minute 19 of the recording which can be found here) the following:
“We are dealing with these case as if a cat died, or a pullet fell of the balcony. Allow me to say: not all of them are dying because of falling while cleaning windows. I just came from a meeting with the consul of Madagascar. He told me that 4 migrant workers died in one week in domestic accidents as if the houses are situated in the middle of highways and as if they were crushed by cars. The consul added that men in houses where they died are involved. I have no confirmation for this, but things are being covered up in police stations under the title of ‘suicide’. No further investigations are done, especially whether or not she was pushed to commit suicide.”
Ethiopian suicides comments: Mr. Cassabli’s remarks and acknowledgments are shocking. How many deaths of migrant domestic workers go unreported because they were not spectacular enough (jumping from the balcony or drinking detergent)? How did Mr. Cassabli reach the figure of “90% of maids are mistreated”?

www.slnc.org launched
Dulshani Gunawardena
A website promoting the access to vote for Sri Lankans abroad, www.slnc.org has been launched. It was officially launched by Justice and Law Reforms Minister Milinda Moragoda.
The website is currently collecting signatures for a petition promoting this cause.
Moragoda stated that though the vote is a fundamental human right in any democracy, millions of individuals in Sri Lanka are unable to exercise this right simply due to the fact that they are not physically present in Sri Lanka at the time of the election.
Among the disenfranchised Sri Lankan citizens abroad are those that have migrated primarily for employment and migrants holding permanent residence or citizenship status of the host country.
It is estimated that there are nearly 1.7 million who belong to the former category and they contribute immensely to the country’s economy. Despite the large number of Sri Lankan citizens abroad, the current election laws do not provide access and procedure for them to vote.

Labour standards for domestic workers
A dozen countries in Asia-Pacific say 'yes' in principle to international labour standard for domestic workers - global discussion at ILC in June
Governments, worker and employer organizations in Asia and the Pacific have indicated their general support - in principle - of setting a new international labour standard which could offer better social protection to millions of domestic workers - defined as women and men - who earn their living by working in the homes of others.
An ILO report, 'Decent Work for Domestic Workers,' carries the responses of 75 member States to a Questionnaire on the idea of an international labour standard for domestic workers.
It includes the replies from 13 Governments of member States from the Asia and Pacific region.
Responses were received from 32 worker and employer organizations across the region.
The document was published in preparation of a formal discussion at the International Labour Conference in June on the subject.
This annual Conference brings together Governments, Worker and Employer Organizations from more than 180 member States - the only tripartite meeting of its kind within the UN system - to discuss critical issues in the world of work.
The setting of an international standard for domestic workers would be an historic move to recognize and protect an occupation often under-acknowledged by society. In Asia and the Pacific many domestic workers face indifference at best by the public and can be subject to outright physical and sexual abuse by their employers who are often beyond the pale of labour inspections or redress under national labour laws. Migrant domestic workers are especially vulnerable.
The publishing of the report comes just a few days in advance of International Women*s Day (8 March). This year the various themes to mark the occasion focus on progress for equal rights and equal opportunities in society and in the workplace.
"It is encouraging and timely to see the positive comments coming from member States here in Asia and the Pacific," ILO's Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific Sachiko Yamamoto said.
"Judging by the responses received so far, the indication is that there should be an international standard to better protect domestic workers in Asia and the Pacific."
If the June ILC decides that it is advisable to adopt one or more international instruments, the International Labour Office will draw up, on the basis of the conclusions adopted by the Conference, one or more draft international labour instruments to be considered. It will then be for the Conference to make a final decision on the subject at a future session.

Body of Lankan flown back from Dubai
- Daily Mirror - 5th January 2010
Technician commits suicide
The body of H.E. Jayasena, the Sri Lankan who committed suicide on New Years Eve in Dubai , was flown back to the island, yesterday. An A/C technician at a five star hotel in Dubai , Jayasena was reported to have committed suicide while on duty.
He was found dead by his supervisor on the basement floor with burn marks on his hands.
"Forensic experts confirm the deliberate motivation of the technician to commit suicide from the marks and evidence found at the scene," Director of CID at Dubai Police Lieutenant Colonel Ahmad Humaid Al Merri told Gulf News. Police investigations revealed that the victim had been embroiled in a dispute with the hotel management over his end-of-service settlements and his air ticket back to Sri Lanka.One of his colleagues, who did not want to be named, said he was a very quiet person who had joined the company around 10 months ago.
He said that Jayasena had been complaining of a severe headache, for several months, but no one was able to identify the cause of the pain. According to him Jayasena had travelled to Sri Lanka in November for treatment which proved futile.
"I believe his sickness and the way the management dealt with his request to leave and go back home drove him to commit suicide," the colleague added.
