Amazon has paid $1.9 million in reimbursements to more than 700 overseas workers.

But 33 of 44 Amazon contract workers interviewed by The Guardian say they have not been reimbursed.

Amazon says it's working to identify and pay workers who qualify for compensation.

The company says it is “deeply concerned” that some contract workers in Saudi Arabia were not treated with “the dignity and respect they deserve”.

Mansur , now back home in Nepal , said he had already suffered when moneylenders pressured his family to repay his loans.

He said that Amazon should “give the money back to all other workers” Mansur was fired without warning, leaving him to languish in a bunkhouse.
