At least 93 cases of migrant worker abuse have been recorded in Qatar in the year before the World Cup, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre [BHRRC] has found, with the body stating that number is “very likely to be an undercount” due to restrictions on reporting and threats of reprisal or deportation.
The BHRRC added that illustrates how the implementation of labour reforms has been lacking, despite Fifa and the Qatar government pushing the narrative that they were the end goal.
