Details: Due to the fact that Qatar is the host country of the Football World Cup 2022, it is spending a huge economic budget on the construction of infrastructure in that country. At the same time, there are many workers from various countries in Asia and Africa. Among these workers, there are many Bangladeshi workers. International media The Guardian In one of their reports, an alarming report by Amnesty International was presented.
From the Guardian's report, only the number of Bangladeshi workers can be seen, there are more than 30,000 workers working in infrastructure construction just ahead of the World Cup. Most of these workers have gone to that country under the supervision of various sub-contractors and the responsibility of taking care of all their responsibilities, facilities and difficulties is also due to those sub-contractors. As a result, the main World Cup construction committee of Qatar does not bother about the facilities and facilities of these workers. As a result, the workers go to that country with the dream of better life and work with modern technology, but they live an inhumane life there. There they are working like donkeys while not being given the slightest human benefit!
Amnesty International's report shows that many workers are injured in accidents while working and they lose limbs there and come home crippled and do not receive any compensation. The Government of Qatar is unwilling to take any responsibility for these workers because they went to Qatar under the supervision of sub-contractors and the Government of Qatar hired them from those contractors for various periods and paid fixed amount in return. There is no other agreement.
Also, many workers are forced to commit suicide as they cannot bear the inhuman labor and physical suffering. Many people are injured and killed while doing dangerous work, but neither they nor their relatives get any compensation.
According to the report, the workers in Qatar are working 12 hours a day and 7 days a week, enduring the terrible heat of the desert of Qatar, the human rights organization has opined that such continuous work is truly inhumane.
Meanwhile, more than 12 Nepalese laborers died during construction work last month and they were not given any compensation. Later, when the matter came to FIFA's attention, FIFA wanted to know more about the matter with the government of Qatar.
So far, a survey has found that more than 1,000 workers have been paralyzed or left paralyzed. Also, while working in extreme heat, these workers cannot even drink water or they are not given that opportunity, as a result of which many workers are falling to their death due to lack of water.
The Qatari authorities are treating the workers like slaves. At least one worker has died every day since preparations for Qatar's World Cup infrastructure began, according to reports. More than half of these deaths are due to heart attacks and the rest are due to accidents at work. There are allegations of inhuman treatment and cruel torture of workers in the field of work.
However, the head of world football's governing body says otherwise, he recently visited Qatar and said that Qatar is working properly. FIFA has done nothing wrong by allowing Qatar to host the World Cup.
