International Amnesty Urges Justice for World Cup Workers in 2022

World Cup 2022, they will start the next three years. However, the controversy that accompanied the world's biggest soccer tournament was stuck to the surface. One concerns the rights of manual workers involved in infrastructure development.

Earlier, an imam from Australia, Mohammed Tawhidi, revealed human rights violations committed against hundreds of thousands of workers. There were 1,426 workers died before 2019, 111 died throughout 2019.

Case not yet finished, now there is another insistence. Hundreds of thousands of other living workers have not been paid accordingly. In fact, many of them are still a penny valued for sweat and blood for several years.

"Although promised by local authorities on settlement payments for workers, in reality, has not yet materialized. Workers flocked to Qatar to wait for a better life," said Deputy Director of Global Issues at Amnesty International, Stephen Cockburn.

"But they get the opposite way far from expectations. Many return home without making money. Speakers are also slow to overcome this problem," he said.

There are at least eight main stadiums that will be used for the 2022 stage matches of the World Cup stadiums in five cities in various regions of Qatar. This tournament will take place November 21-18 December 2022.
