American Defense Contractor Accused of Enslaving U.S. Citizen Linguists
A major American defense contractor held its translators in a tent city under slave-like conditions, breaking U.S. anti-slavery laws, according to allegations in a 2016 federal lawsuit that was recently unsealed. Under threat of arrest in Kuwait, the translators were held in tents where the temperature regularly topped 100 degrees. Company representatives seized their passports and indicated they would go to prison if they tried to escape. According to the suit, supervisors werent coy about coercing the translators. One plaintiff, a linguist named Edward Youkhana, complained about his treatment in Kuwait to a regional manager.
The linguists are slaves, the manager replied.
Human rights advocates have long lambasted the Gulf states for their widespread practice of trafficking foreign workers and confiscating their passports. But those charges have largely focused on the exploitation of people from developing nations, including India and Nepal. The allegations in this suit, if true, would join the growing evidence that Americans are also vulnerable to slaveryand by companies working for their own government.
This isnt the first lawsuit alleging an American defense contractor treated its employees like slaves; in a a suit unsealed in April, six plaintiffs made similar allegations against ManTech.
These U.S.-citizen linguists are heroesthey go into combat unarmed to help minimize the chaos of the battlefield and gather intelligence, said Joseph Hennessey, a lawyer representing the plaintiffs in both lawsuits. To have been treated so horrifically is unfathomable.
