That article itself contradicts its own spin. It reads more like a hit job.
"More than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago"
"death records are not categorised by occupation or place of work"
"There have been 37 deaths among workers directly linked to construction of World Cup stadiums, of which 34 are classified as “non-work related” by the event’s organising committee."
"its 2 million-strong migrant workforce"
6500 deaths in a 10 year span, out of a 2 million demographic. Only 37 of those 6000 were workers actually linked to the construction of the stadiums. Only 3 of those are confirmed to be dead on site.
"Classified as “non-work related” by the event’s organizing committee", I guess the same committee that bribed FIFA[1] and from the same government that has not really high values for human rights and much less for the rights of immigrant labor force.
And no autopsies allowed to investigate deaths even.
And there are much more reports about deaths[2] just search around the web .
But We know that money washes everything away .
I can't find any primary sources for excessive deaths during construction. FIFA corruption is completely unrelated.
The Qatari government is only being questioned about the 34 of 37 workers dying, and there's no evidence of a coverup either.
If your general point is "I don't like the Qatari government" that's fine. If your point is hundreds of workers died at work but was covered up then a lot more solid evidence is needed to back that up.
Define primary sources, you mean the Qatari government?, the one that blocks the autopsies?.
Because news around are easily found about it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/25/revealed-qatar...
I know we can only talk human rights when is about China, Iran or Russia, Qatar, Emirates and Saudi Arabia are off limits because they are our economic allies.
