Qatar reforms falling short of promises, says Amnesty

LONDON (Reuters) - World Cup 2022 host Qatar has made improvements in labour rights for its two million foreign workers, but reforms have not lived up to promises made, Amnesty International told Reuters in an interview.

The tiny Gulf state has come under fire for what rights groups describe as poor labour conditions. Doha has responded by enacting a broad reform programme in which it has scrapped exit permits for most workers, established a minimum wage and launched dispute committees to hear worker grievances.
