BTS Jungkook is filming something in Qatar in real time

• Qatar becoming the destination for the 2022 World Cup escalated the issue of human rights for migrant workers. Between 500,000 and 1.5 million migrant workers were employed to build the stadium. About 1,200 migrants died during the project between 2010 and 2013.

• The Qatar government did not take ownership of these deaths. Migrant workers involved in the world cup were forced into labor, some human trafficked, and kept against their will.

• Conditions of labor and number of wages were exaggerated to attract laborers; this requirement practice was not regulated by any organization. Contractors advertise the work and rates and Qatar uses the kafala system. This system gives the network (in this case the contractor) the power to decide the treatment of the migrant workers and how they operate. The government does not get involved in the treatment.

• Workers were given dirty living conditions with 12 to one room and were often left with no food or pay.

• A 2012 report by Human Rights Watch concluded that hundreds of thousands of mostly South Asian migrant workers in construction in Qatar risk serious exploitation and abuse, sometimes amounting to forced labor.

• Domestic servants, who are often poor women from Southeast Asian countries, have few rights, and can become victims of human trafficking, sometimes forced into prostitution. 

• Qatari women convicted for “illicit relations” (sex outside marriage) may be imprisoned for up to seven years. It is often poor domestic workers from Southeast Asian countries who are convicted, even when they have been raped if the judge thinks they are lying.

• Out of the population of about 2,700,000, about 2 million are men and the rest are female. Over 90% over the population of Qatar are not actually Qatari. Workers come from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Egypt, and more. Out of this migrant population over half of them have strong depression-like symptoms.

• Qatar retains the death penalty, primarily for espionage, or other threats against national security. Apostasy, same-sex intercourse, and blasphemy are also considered capital offenses.

• Flogging is used in Qatar as a punishment for alcohol consumption or illicit sexual relations.

• A life sentence was handed to the Qatari poet Mohammed al-Ajami, also known as Mohammed Ibn al-Dheeb, for criticism of the government during the 2012 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Qatar.

• Relationships between consenting male adults in Qatar are illegal, and subject to a sentence of up to five years in prison.
