E:60 traveled to Qatar to investigate the working and living conditions in the country set to host the 2022 World Cup. We ("Hguyz") Do not own this video, neither any of the contents in it. We are Nepalese Students and watching this documentary is very hard for us. We live in one of the poorest countries of the world, but it doesn't mean we deserve this. Our corrupted government, our corrupted "Football Association of Nepal" had also voted Qatar for the bid of FIFA world cup 2022. But this wasn't fair for us. We cannot help it, but share and are looking for the world to act on it. We hope this video and kind of message being spread will make the countries who voted Qatar for the world cup will regret somehow, and may even lead to Re-voting because of the exploitation of the Human Rights. Qatar, one of the richest countries on the planet, will be hosting the World Cup in 2022. But much of the Gulf state's expansion is being built by some of the poorest migrant workers in the world. In the worst cases, employees are not being paid and work in conditions of forced labor. Each month dozens of young Nepalese migrant workers are returning home in coffins. Back in 2010, several strong contenders were bidding to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, including the USA, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, but Qatar came out of nowhere and scored the rights to host the tournament, surprising absolutely everybody. Qatar had no soccer playing culture, no stadiums, and players would have to play in 50 degree heat or air conditioned stadiums. But one thing Qatar has is lots of money! Questions of the involvement of a Qatari member of the FIFA Executive Committee, named Mohamed bin Hammam, began to swirl. However, Qatar has always claimed that the movements of bin Hammam have not been related to Qatar's 2022 bid, and not influenced the outcome in anyway. Nevertheless, bin Hammam was banned from the Executive Committee for life in 2012 for various ethics violations and conflicts of interest. Then, last week the British paper, The Sunday Times, published an expose detailing payments by Mohamed bin Hammam to secure votes for Qatar's World Cup bid from dozens of African and Caribbean football associations. And now it seems even UEFA's Michel Platini of France could have been involved. Every type of influence peddling imaginable has been uncovered, spanning the gamut from securing jobs for family members and sweetheart contracts, to straight up cash gifts and all-expense-paid vacations for voters. Evidence has also surfaced that Russia bought the 2018 World Cup for cash, surprising exactly nobody, especially not after their $50 billion dollar Winter Olympics in Sochi. Those games, with incomplete infrastructure and laughable facilities, somehow cost 10 times more than the next most expensive Winter Olympics in history. The revelations of corruption have given rise to calls for a fresh vote on the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts. That means Australia, England, and the US' chances of snatching the 2022 games back from Qatar are suddenly worth betting on, literally. The UK's largest betting house puts the odds on the US hosting the games. But if that happens, it means there would only be eight years left to get Americans interested in soccer. Now THAT is an audacious bid. There's another video about the same issue published by The Guardian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5R9Ur44XV8 Article by The Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/sep/26/qatar-world-cup-slaves-fifa-uk Original Article source: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=11019010 Video Source: http://vimeo.com/95215527 NO copyright infringement intended. We do not own the video, or anything in the video. We found this video on Vimeo and we are very sad to see this Modern Slavery, and just to get this video shared, we're publishing this on YouTube. You, whoever is watching this, can do a major help just by sharing this video. Please share this with as many people and social networks as you can. And Signing this petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/end-slavery-of-nepalese-migrant-workers-in-qatar We have reached 32,000+ signatures on the petition at the time this video was being uploaded, Contribute to the numbers. Every share counts, every signature on the petition counts. Let's do this for humanity, let's do this for the Poorest people of the world. Even the deceased labors' families aren't given some compensation money by any of the Qatar's governmental bodies, neither Nepal government. Most of the Labors who are going to Qatar take loans for buying the plane tickets and the expenses to reach Qatar in dreams of earning money, and after the death, their families are left with burdens to life and becoming poorest they'd ever been. Hope some associations would raise charities to donate some money to the suffering families.
