Dad says son ‘worked to death’ for £1 an hour by World Cup stadium builders

MirrorUK

A weeping father today claims his son was “worked to death” on £1 an hour in the World Cup nation of Qatar.
Sanjib Raya toiled 12 hours a day in 40C heat as a road builder.

The firm he worked for built the 60,000-capacity Al-Bayt Stadium, where England play the USA on November 25.
Sanjib died of heart failure at 28 – same age as England captain Harry Kane. But his family say he was perfectly healthy before taking up the gruelling job.

His father, Nepalese farm worker Rampriya, 68, told the Sunday Mirror: “It’s an insult to my son’s memory and other migrants – that stadium was built on the blood and sweat of migrant workers.”
Sanjib’s uncle Hari Narayan, 30, added: “He is dead – will FIFA pay compensation? I don’t think so. They have blood on their hands. more

  2. Did they make him get the Xi virus experimental treatment? The Gulf states were and are pretty paranoid about the Xi virus. FIFA is also at fault with that. There are plenty of videos showing soccer players dropping on the field.

    Treating foreign workers like slaves is pretty normal there. Arabs consider non-Arab muslims to be lesser (being Arab speaking is not enough, though is will help). It’s far worse if they are non-muslim. Real slaves, usually house servants, will often be beaten to death over trivial faults, or just because.
