“Amnesty: How migrant workers at Qatar World Cup were exploited and underpaid”

Amnesty International (AI) says FIFA and Qatar government are yet to establish “an effective and accessible scheme” of justice for migrant security workers exploited at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

In a recent statement, Steve Cockburn, AI’s head of economic and social justice, said FIFA must proffer adequate solutions to alleged human rights abuse during the tournament…

The organisation said several migrant workers who worked as security guards at competition venues suffered a range of work-related harms and abuses.

Amnesty spoke to 22 men from Nepal, Kenya and Ghana who were contracted to Teyseer Security Services, a Qatar-based company, and they alleged suffering exploitations such as unlawful recruitment fees and being given misleading statements about the terms and conditions of their employment…

Teyseer Security denied the allegations, saying it followed an “ethical recruitment process” and took measures to protect workers’ rights on World Cup sites.

FIFA said due diligence was conducted on Teyseer but acknowledged there were “different perceptions and views” on the experience of the company’s workers. The federation said further clarification will be sought on the issues raised.
