FIVE years to the day after Fifa voted for the 2022 World Cup to be hosted in Qatar, Amnesty International slammed the Gulf state yesterday for the continued appalling work conditions.
Qatar has refused to drop the kafala system — which sees workers forced to pay recruitment fees, having their passports confiscated, non-payment of wages as well as health and safety breaches — while an estimated 1.7 million workers are still forced to build the stadiums in which the World Cup will be played.
The conditions were compared last month to “Victorian London” by the GMB union and Amnesty International’s Gulf migrant rights researcher Mustafa Qadri
