Amnesty International has said that Qatar has made little progress in some areas and "non-existent" in others, while addressing the plight of migrant workers at the 2022 FIFA World Cup construction sites, despite promises to do so.
The working and housing conditions of migrant construction workers has been under intense scrutiny, with Amnesty noting in the past that workers were being treated like "animals," reported the BBC.
Qatar has assured that major changes will be in place by the end of the year.
The news came as two sponsors of the football tournament, Visa and Coca-Cola, voiced concerns over migrant workers' rights.
An estimated 1.5 million foreign workers are engaged in the construction of 2022 World Cup facilities in Qatar, in the wake of the construction boom fuelled by the Arab state's successful bid to host the tournament.
