  • Doha, September 20, 2013<br />
<br />
Zahir Belounis is a French professional footballer currently trapped in Qatar under its controversial labour laws.<br />
<br />
The 33-year-old has not been allowed back to France since June 2012 because he has been embroiled in a legal dispute with his former club al-Jaish, who play in the Qatar Stars League, over two years' unpaid wages.<br />
<br />
Under the Kafala system that ties employees to their sponsors, migrant workers cannot leave the Gulf state unless their employer agrees and Belounis has been left in limbo in Doha with his wife and two daughters. <br />
<br />
They are staying in an half-emply house, as most of his furniture was sold when he got word in that a solution is close. But no progress has been made since then. In November 2013, Belounis has written an impassioned plea to the former 2022 World Cup ambassadors Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola asking them to intervene on his behalf, published by The Guardian newspaper.<br />
<br />
Belounis is shown here at the Doha corniche, with traditional boats (dhows) and the modern skyline in the background.

<br />
Zahir Belounis is a French professional footballer currently trapped in Qatar under its controversial labour laws.<br />
<br />
The 33-year-old has not been allowed back to France since June 2012 because he has been embroiled in a legal dispute with his former club al-Jaish, who play in the Qatar Stars League, over two years' unpaid wages.<br />
<br />
Under the Kafala system that ties employees to their sponsors, migrant workers cannot leave the Gulf state unless their employer agrees and Belounis has been left in limbo in Doha with his wife and two daughters. <br />
<br />
They are staying in an half-emply house, as most of his furniture was sold when he got word in that a solution is close. But no progress has been made since then. In November 2013, Belounis has written an impassioned plea to the former 2022 World Cup ambassadors Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola asking them to intervene on his behalf, published by The Guardian newspaper.<br />

<br />
Belounis is shown here at the Doha corniche, together with French football trainer Stéphane Morello who is also not able to leave Qatar.<br />
<br />
UPDATE: After nearly five years in limbo, Morello has finally obtained an exit permit to leave Qatar in late October 2013.
    M130917_F8A9498_pr30.jpg
  • Morello moved to Qatar in 2007 to work for the Qatar Olympic Committee, which hired him out to local football teams.<br />
<br />
His problems arose in January 2009 while working at Al-Shamal sports club. He said the team wanted to change coaches and terminated his contract, but refused to pay the money owed to him under the employment agreement.<br />
Despite formally resigning from the Olympic Committee in 2010, he said his employment permit continued to be renewed even though he was not allowed to work or obtain an exit visa.<br />
Morello cleared a major hurdle earlier this fall when his sponsorship was transferred to the French embassy. However, he was told he could not leave the country until he repaid four years’ worth of housing costs – worth an estimated QR1.2 million ($342,325). Morello said the matter was resolved when he signed a form acknowledging the debt last week, which was then forgiven by the Qatari government in full. <br />
<br />
Morello still plans to sue the Olympic Committee over unpaid wages.
