Activists fear for Qatar workers as World Cup spotlight dimsWith just days to go before Qatar hosts the World Cup, rights groups fear that a window for addressing the widespread exploitation of foreign workers could soon close. The long run-up to this month's World Cup has brought unprecedented scrutiny to the treatment of the millions of foreign workers in the Gulf Arab nation who built stadiums and other infrastructure, and who will staff hotels and sweep the streets during the world's biggest sporting event. Corruption at the highest level! This will be swept under the rug and not be reported worldwide. Ridiculous Haven't the Gulf States exploited foreign workers for generations? Hypocrite activists trying to make some money 💰. Qatar treatment of foreign workers was much better than the treatment of illegal immigrants in Europe and the United States who exploit them

Really? Qatar had a population similar in number to Mississippi. Exactly how will they use the stadiums AFTER the World Cup? The question is moot anyway, Qatar is still an oppressive regime. They could use them for Monster Truck Rallies, and perhaps public stonings and beheadings. Noah’s Ark is in Qatar
