Qatar, host country for the 2022 FIFA World Cup of men's soccer, continues to be guilty of human rights violations despite five years of promises to address the issue, reports Amnesty International. The human rights organization has been collecting testimonies from 132 construction workers and 99 landscaping workers, many of whom hail from India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The number of migrant workers working on the expanded soccer stadiums is expected to increase as the event approaches, possibly by 36,000 in the next two years alone. The International Trade Union Confederation had previously reported that hundreds of workers in Qatar die each year; it projects a possible 4,000 workers dying before the World Cup.
