At least 60 migrant workers arrested in Qatar ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup
At least 60 migrant workers, deployed for FIFA World Cup responsibilities, were arrested in August, according to London-based labor rights group Equidem (via Forbes). The workers were allegedly arrested for protesting working conditions. The workers reportedly alleged that they went without getting their due salary for as long as seven months.
The Qatari authorities even deported some of the foreign workers. An official confirmed the arrests, claiming that the workers were in violation of public safety laws.
Qatar has employed thousands of migrant workers since winning the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup back in 2010. With their support, the country has built seven state-of-the-art stadiums, a new airport, and other multibillion-dollar projects.
