Passport Seized, Wages Unpaid: Indian Worker Stranded and Homeless in Oman

Mushir Abbas, a skilled worker from Uttar Pradesh, is currently facing a harrowing situation in Salalah, Oman. After being evicted from his accommodation and having his essential documents confiscated, he remains trapped in a cycle of exploitation and homelessness.

From Skilled Upholstery to Forced Manual Labour

Abbas arrived in Oman on 29 May 2026, having been recruited by Al Hosn Furniture Factory for a specialized upholstery position. However, the promises made to him were quickly broken. Upon his arrival, his duties were drastically altered, forcing him into heavy manual labour involving the movement of furniture and the unloading of plywood.
