British man dies on 2022 World Cup site
ITUC: Qatar refuse to accept responsibility for protecting workers

ITUC general secretary Sharan Burrow was sceptical yesterday over Qatar’s claims that they will hold an investigation into the death of a British worker on a building site for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Concerns are finally being raised in the blood-soaked Gulf state after the investigation in question was opened into why a British man fell to his death.

However, Burrow told the Star that the details are still being “suppressed” as to the “real human cost” and said that if there is an actual investigation, it needs to be done as “quickly as possible.”
