Qatar's World Cup Expected To Take More Lives Than 9/11

"Qatar is a country without a conscience," begins the International Trade Union Confederation's recent report on the working and living conditions of the 1.4 million migrant workers living in Qatar, many of whom are there to build stadiums and infrastructure for the 2022 World Cup. After reading through the report, it's hard to disagree.

no common sense to put such topics here, Qatar already restricted issuing visas for some nationalities due to overcrowd.. still those nationalities wants to come here paying QR 25,000 for visas. (They pay to kill them selves????)

They don't hate laborers. They are just making the point that people die on work sites.

As the spokesman says from Qatar 2022:

"There are 500,000 Indians living in Qatar. Since 2011 around 450-500 Indians have died due to any number of reasons. Without diminishing the value of human life, I would urge you to at least consider those numbers for some sort of context to the mortality rate of that particular demographic."

Indians die in Qatar all the time. It's no cause for alarm. What's the big deal if a few thousand Asians get killed building this stuff?
