Since being named host of this year’s World Cup, Qatar has come under scrutiny over the working conditions of the more than two million migrants working in the country.
Rights groups say workers face unsafe working conditions, including extreme heat that has caused fatalities, as well as exploitation by employers.
Qatari officials say stricter regulations on working conditions have been imposed as part of the reforms.

Figures published in February by The Guardian, which cite government sources but have been strongly denied by Qatari officials, claim that up to 6,500 migrant workers have died in the country since it won the right to host the World Cup 10 years ago.
Qatari officials say three workers have died in work-related accidents related to the construction of new World Cup stadiums over the past decade, along with 37 other stadium workers who died outside the workplace during that time .
They argue that stadium accident rates are comparable to others around the world.
Although the Supreme Committee did not specify Kibue’s nationality, stadium security personnel are largely made up of migrant workers, particularly from Kenya and other African countries.
