FIFA will continue to put pressure on Qatar over human rights: President (Reuters)

By Alexander Cornwell DUBAI (Reuters) - FIFA will continue to "put pressure" on Qatar about the treatment of migrant laborers building World Cup stadiums in the Gulf Arab country for the 2022 tournament, its President said on Wednesday. The world football governing body in the past admitted it was slow to act over concerns about the abuse of laborers in Qatar. It has since said human rights would be factored in to future World Cup host bids and on April 22 announced plans for a special group to monitor working conditions.
