Revealed: 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since World Cup awarded
www.theguardian.com
Guardian analysis indicates shocking figure over the past decade likely to be an underestimate

“The findings, compiled from government sources, mean an average of 12 migrant workers from these five south Asian nations have died each week since the night in December 2010 when the streets of Doha were filled with ecstatic crowds celebrating Qatar’s victory.”

    Qatar is in no way an adequate country to host a world cup

    The death count here may make injustice more “visible”, but destruction/exploitation around huge sports events like world cup and olympic games is a real thing. Entire neighborhoods being torn to pieces or otherwise cleansed and/or military occupied just so people can come and make business… Not sure Qatar is the only problem here.
