Qatari regime: endless violations of “a system without conscience”, British newspapers expose.

The Qatari regime continues its inhuman policies against expatriates, specifically the 2022 World Cup facilities’ workers. Despite many and repeated promises from the Tamim bin Hamad government to the international community confirming an efficient improvement of the migrant workers’ through the application of  laws and procedures’ package, but those laws did not go beyond words, And remained the same on paper and not applied.
