A human rights lobby says labourers from Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia have suffered the most labour rights violations in Qatar, piling more pressure on the 2022 FIFA World Cup host, which has faced criticism on abuses.
As Doha prepares for the opening ceremony today (Saturday), the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre issued a statement citing data that showed African workers had been subjected to at least 63 cases of labour rights abuses in Qatar between January 2016 and November 2022.
