Amnesty report highlights abuse of migrant workers building World Cup stadia

Human rights group Amnesty International has called on FIFA to take a stance against the “abuse of migrant workers” in Qatar, the host for the 2022 World Cup.

Amnesty International claims in a 166-page report released on Sunday that workers arriving in Qatar to work on construction projects related to the tournament in nine years’ time are subjected to “non-payment of wages, harsh and dangerous working conditions, and shocking standards of accommodation”.
