I know maids from my mothers village in kerala India that have been imprisoned there and passports taken away. Some of them have had no contact for decades.

lots of men are imprisoned there too in similar circumstances. People think slavery is a relic of the past but We have the highest number of slaves now in history of humanity.

Like Eva Kaili who was defending Qatar in the European Parliament. In that case it seems that a few bags of money was the culprit for her ignorance though, along with a few drinks in some kitsch club there.

Yea that might be a visible example of corruption but the way I see its exploration of weak humans by a larger wealthy set human beings.

There are men imprisoned on fishing boats in asia where public turns a blind eye because of their own selfishness. And then there is slaves digging up cobalt in africa with their bare hands( JRE episode recently ) to supply us gadgets.

I think politicians just give us a way out to absolve ourselves from the exploitation that we all are willingly involved in.

I completely agree!

She's enjoying an extended stay in a local hostel right now courtesy of those bags of money. Rightly so.
