World Cup/ Qatari official makes a strong statement: About 500 migrant workers have lost their lives

Construction work on World Cup projects caused the deaths of up to 500 workers. This was confirmed by a senior Qatari official. The figure is at least ten times higher than previously acknowledged and will raise concerns about the rights and safety of migrant workers.

Hassan al-Thawadi, secretary general of Qatar's Supreme Committee for Handover and Legacy, made the announcement during an interview with talkSPORT, which has broadcast rights to the tournament.

Piers Morgan e pyeti: Cili është totali i sinqertë për punëtorët emigrantë që humbën jetën nga ose si rezultat i punës që ata po bëjnë për Kupën e Botës në tërësi?

Thawadi u përgjigj: Përllogaritja është rreth 400, midis 400 dhe 500. Nuk e kam numrin e saktë

Komiteti Suprem ka raportuar më parë 40 vdekje midis 2014 dhe 2021, duke përfshirë 37 nga ato që përshkruhen si incidente jo-pune, por si sulmet në zemër.

Komiteti tha në një deklaratë pas intervistës se sekretari i përgjithshëm po i referohej “statistikave kombëtare që mbulojnë periudhën 2014-2020 për të gjitha vdekjet e lidhura me punën në mbarë Katarin, duke mbuluar të gjithë sektorët dhe kombësitë”.

Many of the migrant workers in Qatar come from South Asia, particularly India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Activists and journalists have reported that 6,500 or 10,000 migrants have died, while Qatar has claimed that only three people have died in connection with the stadium construction work.

Qatar has insisted it is improving the rights of migrant workers, including introducing a monthly minimum wage of 1,000 rials (£229) and a requirement for employers to provide accommodation and a food allowance in addition to improving safety at work./The Times
