FIFA challenged to pay $440m to Qatar workers, following concerns of human rights abuse
Many major Human rights groups are challenging sporting body FIFA to compensate migrant workers from Qatar, in a $440 million dollar payout
Human rights groups, including Amnesty International, are urging FIFA to compensate Qatar workers.
They allege the workers suffered human rights abuses in preparations for World Cup tournaments in the country.
They want FIFA to “establish a comprehensive program to ensure all labor abuses to which FIFA contributed are” rectified and prevented from happening again.
They want workers to be compensated back to when FIFA awarded hosting rights to Qatar in 2010. They allege the sporting body didn’t push for any improvement in labor protections.
The Government is Qatar has consistently been under fire for many years over its alleged human rights abuses. These include withholding pay and charging workers to change jobs.
FIFA says it has reimbursed a number of workers already and is assessing the “closure of all grievances associated with FIFA World Cup projects.”
The 2022 World Cup is scheduled between November 21 and December 18.
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
