FIFA announces pan-Arab national football tournament in Qatar

Doha has announced a number of reforms in recent years, including a fund to support the payment of unpaid wages and the abolition of the kafala system, which ties workers' visas to their employers.

“It’s time for Qatar to send a clear signal that labour abuses will not be tolerated,” Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International’s head of economic and social justice, said.

“Qatar needs to do much more to ensure legislation has a tangible impact on people’s lives. Positive reforms have too often been undermined by weak implementation and an unwillingness to hold abusive employers to account.”
