Polémicas en torno a la Copa Mundial FIFA en Qatar
November 15, 2022 - La Copa Mundial FIFA en Qatar es considerado por muchos el megaevento deportivo más polémico en muchos años, cuando hay temas como los derechos humanos básicos y los derechos de los trabajadores en el centro de la atención mundial.
Since winning the bid to host this year’s World Cup, allegations of corruption, discrimination and human rights abuses have threatened to overshadow the tournament.
Homosexuality is illegal in the conservative Muslim country, and a report from the Guardian says some 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have died in Qatar since 2010.
