RAK Incident

Workers at the Al Hamra development in RAK have rioted--7 Days report.

The short of it--it resulted from a dispute over food quality, it escalated way out of control, some workers became violent (read damaged property, burnt busses), hundreds (thousands?) have been arrested, shipped off to AD and Dubai, awaiting deportation.

Questions:
  1. Does anyone know more about the incident--what happened, why?
  2. Does anyone know how one can find out where the arrested workers are being held, how they can be supported?
