Malcolm Bidali is a former Qatari migrant worker and the co-founder of Migrant Defenders, a Kenya-based civil society organization defending the rights of migrant workers in the Gulf. While in Qatar, he became a prominent anonymous whistleblower about the brutal conditions for migrant laborers in the lead-up to Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

In May 2021, the Qatari regime unmasked his identity and threw him in solitary confinement for nearly a month on trumped-up charges of "disseminating false news and receiving payments from foreign agents to spread disinformation." He took to the stage at the 2023 Oslo Freedom Forum in Taiwan to talk about his experience and l the atrocious human rights violations being perpetrated against migrant workers in the Gulf.
