Sarwar Hussain is recuperating from a cataract surgery

As many as 19 Indians are stranded in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, after they took on their employer in labour court for failing to pay their wages. All of them are former employees of Al Badr Hotel, which still owes them six months' wages. More than a year has passed since they filed the case, but there is no resolution in sight. Meanwhile, they can neither get another job nor leave the country without their former employer's permission.
