ABUSED migrant workers forced to work on Qatar’s World Cup stadiums are forced to live “in squalid camps in the desert” and “paid a pittance,” according to an Amnesty International report published yesterday.

The 52-page document has case studies from 132 construction workers, who work on the Khalifa International Stadium, as well as 99 migrants doing landscaping work in a surrounding sports complex.

Qatar has refused to drop the kafala system, which sees workers forced to pay recruitment fees, have their passports confiscated, go without pay and risk their health and safety.
