There are plenty of employment contract violations out there. And it needs the help of MOL to intervene in your case. You also need to sought assistance from your embassy without delay to to help resolve the problems or to talk to your employer regarding your situation because your iqama is already expired and you have big big problem if you are caught by Saudi authority.
