Amnesty International: 2022 FIFA World Cup migrant workers “suffered shocking human rights abuses”

Amnesty International and advocacy group Avaaz have written a letter to FIFA demanding compensation for the 2022 Qatar World Cup migrant workers. “Workers suffered horrific abuses to help deliver a World Cup tournament that made billions of dollars for FIFA yet brought a human cost of indebted families and workers’ deaths. While nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, there is no doubt FIFA has the resources to help mend these injustices and provide life-changing support to workers and their families,” said Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International’s head of economic and social justice.
