Qatar 2022 World Cup organisers accused over unpaid migrant workers
An Amnesty International investigation found that around 100 migrant workers at one of the tournament’s “crown jewel” stadiums had not been paid for up to seven months – despite the authorities knowing about the problem last summer...
the amounts owed to workers and staff by Qatar Meta Coats... ranged from around 8,000 Qatari riyals (£1,720) to 60,000 (£12,900)...
Amnesty also criticised Fifa for not doing more to put pressure on Qatar. “If, over the past 10 years, Fifa had held its World Cup partners to account, and used its clout to push Qatar to fully reform its systems, we wouldn’t be hearing the same tales of workers’ suffering with only two-and-a-half years until kick-off,” added Cockburn.
