NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund supporters held up banners protesting against Qatar hosting the World Cup during their Bundesliga matches on Saturday.
With the World Cup just weeks away, Amnesty International say that human rights abuses in Qatar ‘persist on a significant scale’, with thousands of migrant workers exploited in order to ensure stadiums and facilities are built on time.
An investigation launched by The Guardian earlier this year revealed that over 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since 2010.
Other migrant workers have been left in debt, owed pay for several months’ work and unable to return home, with Qatari government failing to step in.
