In response to accusations of slavery and forced labor on the construction sites of stadiums for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ali Al-Marri, the president of the country’s national human rights committee, denied the claims. He stated that there is no slavery or forced labor in Qatar, refuting The Guardian’s information and calling it false. The Guardian had reported that 44 Nepalese workers in Qatar had died between June 4 and August 8, describing the situation as modern slavery with exploitation and abuse, including non-payment of wages, passport confiscation, and poor living conditions. The International Trade Union Confederation also estimated that 5,000 workers of various nationalities could die before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
