Slavery in Sharifistan was legalised on the 30th of May 2021 in a controversial decree by Sultan Ed Ashleigh.

Law

Under the relevant decree, there are three legal requirements that must be met for someone to be enslaved: 1. the person is a prisoner of war

2. the person is not a follower of Islam

3. the person is not a citizen of Sharifistan.

Purpose

They intend to use the slaves to re-industrialize, using them as unskilled factory workers with supervision.

Controversy

Amnesty International called the decree "appaling" Human Rights Watch claimed it would be "a major step backwards for the Sultanate, which saw rights improve under Sultan Suleiman Khan and Prince Khalid Suleiman Khan" and the Islamic Human Rights Commission called the decree "A distortion of Islam which praises the freeing of slaves". The Islamic Human Rights Commission is taking Sultan Ed Ashleigh to court over the decree.
