Malcolm Bidali
Malcolm Bidali from Kenya is one of the few courageous voices speaking out against the abuse and exploitation of immigrant workers in Qatar. He worked as a security guard in Qatar from 2018 to 2021. Like countless workers from abroad, he suffered from very poor working and living conditions. As his complaints to the authorities were unsuccessful, he published blogs under the pseudonym Noah on various channels such as Twitter and Instagram about human rights violations he experienced and observed.
