Kathmandu, 22 March: Though Qatar has made a number of positive reforms in recent years in response to increased scrutiny after the World Cup contract was awarded, Amnesty International has urged Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) to use its leverage with the Qatari authorities to help end the abuse of migrant workers.
In a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Amnesty called on FIFA to live up to its responsibilities to prevent, mitigate and remedy human rights risks connected to the tournament, and to “use the full extent of its influence” to urge Qatar to fulfil its programme of labour reforms before the World Cup kicks off.
