The Release Puts Pressure On In-Depth Investigation On Qatari Authority
The importance of migrant labor to Qatar’s economy and the 2022 FIFA World Cup was acknowledged by the MEPs.
As a result of the decision, Qatari authorities are under pressure to conduct thorough investigations into any incidents in which migrant workers purportedly perished as a result of their working circumstances.
In addition, the announcement encouraged Golf Nation to make amends to the families of individuals whose deaths were conclusively linked to hazardous working conditions.
It comes in the wake of growing allegations that Qatar mistreated migrant workers who built the stadiums and other World Cup-related infrastructure.

They also lament the injuries sustained by everyone as well as the deaths of thousands of migrant workers, mostly in the construction sector, who helped the country prepare for the event.
