Watching the cup? Please don’t forget about the casualties. The president of FIFA said that he would happily host the next World Cup in North Korea, meanwhile the Qatar World Cup CEO declares that death is a normal part of life, when asked about the human toll of this event. There is nothing normal about over 6500 people dying in the name of a football stadium. There is nothing normal about wage theft, restriction of movement and abuse - yet it has been the norm around this World Cup. It’s time international institutions like fifa are held to account for their horrific environmental and human rights footprint. And that host countries lift their worker standards rather than turn a blind eye where it suits those in power.
