What to do when you face an absconding case and request to pay visa expenses?

Hello Sir.

I wanna ask if I have the right to get help from MOHRE.

My Iraqi employer filed an absconding case and wants me to pay AED 6,168 for visa cost and AED 8,000 for the commission they gave to the agency.

I think it's unreasonable.
