The human rights organization Cuban Prisoners Defenders published a report accusing the Mideast emirate of Qatar of funding and benefiting from Cuba’s slave doctor industry — and forcing enslaved health workers to promote Doha’s “political agendas.”
a system that not only abuses its workers, but falsifies medical data to make Cuba appear more successful in providing health care than it actually is. Some doctors have testified to being forced to destroy medicine and claim to have administered it to patients who did not exist, increasing the number of patients those doctors “treated.
“Their passports are permanently withheld by Cuban authorities as soon as they cross the border, and they are under constant surveillance,” the doctors reportedly said. “They are under curfew in their residences and cannot stay overnight in any place other than the one assigned by the Cuban government in Qatar.”
“They are forced to fulfill political agendas and tasks among the native population, so they are used to influence the local politics of the rulers,” the doctors told Cuban Prisoners Defenders. Cuban Prisoners Defenders noted that the treatment of doctors in foreign countries – particularly Cuba’s contractual insistence that Cuban law apply to them abroad, rather than the law of the nations they are in – is a violation of international law and often a violation of the laws of countries accepting the slave doctors.
