That number is disputed but migrant construction workers and manual laborers get treated like slaves nonetheless.

Reform is on the way tho, since they had a system that took away passports removed. But that’s after the fact.

So Qatar says it’s 400-500. Presuming they are being honest, is that ok then? What’s the acceptable death rate of workers for building stadiums for a game?

I never said or implied it was ok. but read into it however you like.

It’s for all migrant workers including non construction based work. So thats why the 6500 number is disputed.

They’re removing the so called kafala system bec of the optic the WC brought.
