Appalling migrant worker conditions in Qatar...

Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is Qatar's Emir. He heads a despotic monarchal rogue state.

He maintains supreme power. What he says goes. Ordinary Qataris have no say.

State terror defines official policy. Qatar has one of the world's worst human and civil rights record. Democratic rights are verboten.

Torture and other forms of repression are commonplace. So is brutal worker exploitation. Foreign nationals suffer most.

(...)

It shows FIFA's complicity with brutal police state repression. It doesn't surprise. Formula One's governing body includes Bahrain on its calendar.

It does so despite the Gulf monarchy's appalling human rights record.

 Murder, torture, other forms of abuse, lawless arrests, kangaroo court trials, and longterm imprisonments don't matter. Full story...
