Five more children used as camel jockeys in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the last several years came home yesterday, bringing the total number to 155.(The Daily Star)

The children are Abu Siddiqui, 9; Abdul Haque, 7, of Cox's Bazar; Robin, 12; Rakib, 10; and Mokbul Hossain, 12, of Comilla.

Officials of the Bangladesh National Women Lawyers Association (BNWLA), which is sheltering the children after their repatriation, received them at the Zia International Airport at 9:45am.

The Bangladesh government is bringing the children back after an agreement between the UAE in assistance with the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef).

Meanwhile, BNWLA has already begun the reintegration process of the children with their parents, while a committee comprised of representatives of government, Unicef, the International Organisation for Migration and other NGOs was formed to plan and monitor the process.

Sold by their families no doubt. As young as 5, I can't understand these animals.

Even animals will fight to protect their children, trying to understand the cult of the moonrock is fruitless.... it's just plain evil.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Sheik Mohammed, one of the richest horse buyers in Kentucky and the world, has been implicated in the slave trade of child camel jockeys by a cable TV news program. A report aired this week on HBO's Real Sports includes footage of appalling living conditions at camel-training camps and alleges that boy camel jockeys -- some as young as 3 -- are kidnapped or sold into slavery, starved, beaten and raped. The report links the abuses to Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum. Sheik Mohammed is the crown prince of Dubai, one of the United Arab Emirates. He also serves as defense minister for the UAE.
