The article ends: "You know they shouldn't be there."

I'd correct this into "You know they shouldn't have been there in the first place."

What the article describes is simply how Dubai works and has always worked. The only way to not know about it is by being willfully ignorant about human rights issues. The only way not to know is to be okay with it.

Since the people are okay with, I cannot understand why they suddenly act as if they were against the human rights abuse when it touches them. If you're okay with it, then be okay with what you are okay with, for crying out loud!
And if you're not okay with then... Don't be okay with then, damnit!
