Interesting. I did think that the report was used as leverage for political mileage esp with the WC upcoming mega projects and the need for Qatar to look good in the international arena.
But well, it's a start and there are many labourers who do suffer these conditions in the work camps.
/Btw, I viewed Al Jazeera yesterday when this Human Rights report was highlighted. The scenes of the work camps reminded me of my former accomodation in Doha Jadeed ... so I was thinking to myself, errr... what harsh conditions are they talking about? ... Ok, ok, we have a/c for the 10 month summer and can buy heaters and blankets during winter time.
