Many of them face harsh treatment from their sponsors and they are left to cry for themselves. I personally know a few friends who work illegally because their sponsors threatened to put them behind bars if they dare speak up, no help whatsoever has been given and some had to escape and live out as fugitives. They work in any condition either day or night as long as they have something to meet their needs. They need help and their families back at home can't do anything to help out.

It is very difficult to believe that there are tears behind such affluence- behind such beautiful skyscrapers!

In the Middle east there workers are assigned in tiers based on their nationality and race. Top tier (owner, CEO, president) is for locals, 2nd highest (top managers, consultants, vp, etc) is for Caucasians or the so-called "Western educated" (which just means White), 3rd highest (mid managers) is for arabs from other countries like lebanon, Syria,etc, Then we approach the low tiers. Low level managers and supervisors go to other Arabs, Indians, and sometimes filipinos. The lowest levels are subdivided according to profession and nationality. Hospitality is dominated by Filipinos, sales and commerce by Indians, and the lowest of them all, construction workers and those who clean toilets, etc are Africans, Bangladeshi, etc

Thank you for this video. It's shocking to learn about these inhumane labor practices happening in a progressive and developed middle eastern country like Qatar. This is like modern slavery wherein millions of foreign migrants--those in construction companies. Their passports being confiscated. If you complain or go on strike, you might be deported. So these migrant workers coming from Africa and Asia were truly exploited and are treated like slaves, working and living in poor conditions. They are not paid well and not even given paid leaves. Imagine, some Filipino women working in beauty or spa salons for 3 years were not given a full day off whereas it was stated in their job contracts that they're entitled to day-offs monthly. It's so funny that out of thousand cases filed in the labor courts by ill-treated migrant workers, only 69 cases have been processed. There's obviously unfair labor practices in Qatar. It's sad and such a shame that it continues to happen that millions of foreign migrant workers, behind those facades of the modern infrastructures like the construction of big sports dome/arenas for the 2022 World Cup were built by the modern slaves of the 21st century.

I heard a l ot of sad stories from my fellow Filipinos who worked there. Poor living and working conditions, unpaid salaries and low pay were the usual stories for low-level skill workers. In fairness, some Filipino engineers, tech-related professionals, etc do not complain much.

Like that Indian boy, I too did my schooling and spent my childhood in Qatar because of my father's work. It was a safe and convenient lifestyle but that was just about it. Expat Children who grow in the Middle East become coddled and unsure about the realities of life. It was when I went to college in India and later in Europe when I developed full into an adult and was more aware of life's issues. I felt kind of free and never really missed Qatar at all. In fact now that I think of it the memories in Qatar were just with my friends many of whom have either went back to India or left for greener pastures. In the 15 years I have lived there I have never had any contact with a local Qatari boy or girl and I don't know anyone who did. All expats lived within their comfort zone and in a state of denial that they will continue to do so forever. I'm not sure from which state of India these people are from but the the country isn't that bad as media would portray in fact the South of India is really good to retire and my parents have been living well. Most white collared Indians now prefer working in India or else anywhere but the Middle East.

They arrive to their Parents country and immediately receive a cultural shock plus they cannot speak in their own Mother Tongue. They mainly speak Arabic. So they end up having to learn their own language. They also get labeled Arabs from their own people. That's the situation for Pakistanis youths who grew up in Saudi Arabia and is a true situation to this day.

My heart really bleeds for these migrant workers who have been subjected to modern-day slavery. I plan to come to Qatar to work but watching this has given me second thoughts about the Middle East as a whole. I wish them success in their pursuit for happiness.

Low income migrant workers are literally modern day slaves . Especially in construction. This is the people who physically build all skyscrapers in luxury cities in GCC. Their condition in camp is very poor. They get extremely low payment and they work in extreme heat. I know it personally since I was working as an engineer in a construction company in Dubai and I felt so bad and I quit in my 3rd year.

Knowing what we know, if footballers attend this world cup then they are equally guilty of compliance with the abuses suffered in this country, they should and must make a stand and refuse to play

Thanks France 24 News for bring this eye opener documentary.

As an humane Human, I salute all of you for speaking your story here. I personally have heard people tell me how they escaped Qatar. At that point in time, I presumed it to be an individual's experience, but later as I grew up, read more, and had many more narrate the same story, I knew in that moment, I need to realise that it is a reality. Mentality of this desert cult has never changed, it has transformed into modernity! Same slavery, subjugation of women, atrocities towards LGBT community, and more! They have Sugar coated it to sell their propaganda! Very sad that they are hosting FIFA! I feel, I am going to stay away!

From my personal experience in the labor intense service industry in the GCC, these issues arise from huge gaps in two main bodies, 1. the governments and policy makers with their local multinational consulting firms, 2. the private sector and SMEs mostly run by expats. The exponential growth that these countries have realized due to their large oil profits (which btw was created by developed countries demand) have created these gaps and exploitations due to the failure of bringing the authorities/policy makers up to speed with the fast economic growth and subsequently brought these inhuman and unjust labor rights. Not to mention the shortage in local human resources in most of these countries which are populated by 90% of expats.

From a little boy I have loved football, and so longed for the world cup to come around again, this year I just can't allow my heart to be hardened and watch it, while my fellow man is suffering with so many families grieving, these people kill the oxygen of life ( HOPE )

My cousion brother was in uae he was not paid for six month,his father was ill in hospital in bangladesh,he asked his employer still did not pay him,he called me in uk to send him some food money,i have sent him £150.00 for food eventually he went home but his father passed away he was not able to see his father alive.These people are ruthless heartless treat people like slaves.🇧🇩
