As Qatar prepares to host the FIFA World Cup in November, the country is once again drawing criticism from human rights organisations. For several months, a construction company's workers have been protesting to claim unpaid wages. But on August 14, the Qatari government arrested some of them and deported them.
At least 60 workers employed by construction company Al Bandary – some of whom had not been paid for up to seven months – blocked traffic in front of the company headquarters in Doha on August 14.
