The Republic of Finlandia, a rapidly developing country, has recently been in the spotlight for its treatment of migrant workers, particularly in its large-scale infrastructure projects. Sally Nosypants, an investigative reporter from the nation's most popular news channel, has published scathing reports of numerous alleged human rights violations on her weekly television show, "A Closer Look."

For example, on one episode of her show, she interviewed "Paul," a migrant from a neighboring country who told Sally that he had been lured to Finlandia by a recruitment agency that promised him a desk job doing office work as an architect (he was a licensed architect in his home country). However, when he arrived in Finlandia, Paul's passport was confiscated, he was told that he had to pay the equivalent of $100,000 in illegal recruitment fees, and that he was forced to work as a manual laborer in an unsafe environment, where he was faced with hazardous conditions on construction sites that lacked even the most basic safety equipment.

Paul reported that he and his colleagues were subjected to excessively long working hours, often exceeding 12 hours a day without overtime pay, and that they were provided minimal rest periods. To make matters worse, his wages were frequently withheld or delayed, and in some cases, significantly reduced without any justification from the employer.

Paul also reported that local government authorities were imposing restrictions on the personal expression and practices of migrant workers, including limitations on their language use, religious observance, and participation in traditional gatherings, significantly impacting their ability to maintain their personal and communal identities.

When asked why he didn't hire a lawyer and sue, Paul reported that he and other migrant workers faced significant obstacles in accessing legal mechanisms to address their grievances. This was due to a combination of factors, including language barriers, lack of legal representation, and a judicial system that was clearly biased against foreign workers.
