Human Rights Watch warns of migrant worker deaths in Saudi Arabia

The construction sites in Saudi Arabia, where the 2034 World Cup stadiums will be built, are increasingly becoming battlegrounds for migrant workers as demand soars, with grave abuses including fatal accidents linked to avoidable risks. Human Rights Watch has warned that scores of workers have died from falls, electrocution, or even decapitation, and that authorities have failed to protect them adequately, investigate workplace safety issues, or provide timely compensation to their families through life insurance or benefits for survivors.
