Seminar in Almedalen, Visby
The price for this football event is paid by hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from Nepal and other neighboring countries who in slavery-like conditions build the arenas where the festivities will be held. We must ask ourselves whether slavery, serious injuries and the death of 4,000 workers are the price we are willing to pay to see the football games at what has become a graveyard in Doha, Qatar.
The sacrifice of human rights and human lives in connection with international sports events must stop. But how can we do this and who is responsible?
