When building facilities for the World Cup in 2022 in Qatar, about 12 workers die each week, according to the "Soviet Sport".
This was stated by the International Confederation of Trade Unions. Mostly these are migrants, the number of which at construction sites has reached 1.2 million people. At the same time in the near future, the authorities are planning to attract about a million guest workers.
Death occurs mainly not from accidents, but from working conditions. People work in a 50-degree heat, have terrible living and working conditions. Employers do not comply with laws - they threaten, do not pay their salaries, take away their passports.
The Indian Ambassador to Qatar said that in the first half of the year 2018 82 Indian workers were killed and 1,460 people complained about unacceptable working conditions.
70 Nepalese workers managed to take refuge in their consulate, and then go home. They were deprived of their documents and paid no money.
