Child-slavery lawsuit refiled against sheikh in federal court

A lawsuit alleging that a United Arab Emirates leader enslaved thousands of child jockeys to ride racing camels has been refiled in federal court in Kentucky, less than two months after a judge dismissed the case in Miami.

The lawsuit alleges that Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al-Maktoum and members of the Maktoum family were part of an extensive underground human-trafficking ring that brought children from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sudan and other African and South Asian countries and placed them in desert camps. Some of the children were as young as 2, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit alleges that some were injected with drugs to stop them from growing.

U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga, a Miami federal judge, dismissed the previous lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds in late July, saying that although Maktoum had business interests in the United States, there was not a strong enough legal tie between Maktoum and his businesses.

Maktoum, the lawsuit says, has extensive property and interests in Kentucky, including Shadwell Farm and Darley Stud’s Jonabell Farm. Altonaga declined to transfer the case to Kentucky when the Florida case was dismissed.

Attorneys for the more than 10,000 boys involved in the class-action lawsuit could not be reached for comment.

Maktoum has said in court documents that UNICEF and the Emirates have created a program to reunite child jockeys with their families.
