Stadiums built but scrutiny endures for Qatar World Cup head

Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General of the World Cup organizing committee talks during an interview with The Associated Press in Doha, Qatar, Thursday, March 31, 2022. On the eve of the World Cup draw, Qatar's chief organizer says "nobody accepts any sort of suffering" that his country has tried to prevent with changes to labor laws. Hassan Al-Thawadi's responses do not always placate those aghast at the suffering of migrant workers whose low-paid labor was relied on to build Qatar's infrastructure, beyond the stadium construction that is only directly in Al-Thawadi's remit.
