This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)

> On November 24, the European Parliament urged FIFA and Qatar to compensate widespread abuses that migrant workers suffered while building the 2022 World Cup infrastructure and making the games possible.

> In the debate preceding the vote, Parliamentarians hammered Qatar's poor human rights record on labor rights and other human rights, including violations of freedom of expression, women's rights, and LGBT people's rights.

> On November 1, Qatar's labor minister explicitly rejected the call to remedy migrant workers who have suffered, hailing domestic reforms as sufficient; testifying at the European Parliament two weeks later, he again failed to publicly commit to compensation, albeit showing some openness to making the existing fund available retroactively.

Take these criminals to den Haag or Geneva or wherever people get punished for human rights violations.

When you’re finished with Qatar, take the Israeli government there, too.
