- Camel Jockeys: A Rough Ride Through Childhood
A young jockey named Mohamad Salem sits on the floor of an examination room at Fatwaniya Hospital after falling from his camel during the third day of racing at the 3rd annual Kuwait Championship at the Kuwait Camel Racing Club. He only suffered from superficial injuries, according to the emergency room doctor who treated him. But camel jockeys often suffer from lifelong impotence, and face serious injury and death when their camels fall, said Ansar Burney, a lawyer and human rights activist in Karachi, Pakistan.
