Government Communications Office statement in response to Human Rights Watch report

Human Rights Watch intentionally misleads public opinion in its report issued on August 24, where it repeated in its last report the policies followed in the State of Qatar regarding the current situation of foreign workers, which does not reflect at all the reality of the vast majority of them, and that they are not subjected to any form of violations with regard to their salaries, with the exception of a small number of individual cases, noting that the number of these cases has witnessed a noticeable decline due to the fundamental and sustainable change brought about by the laws and measures taken by the state.

In addition, Human Rights Watch only contacted the State of Qatar just before publishing the report. Undoubtedly, the state will spare no effort in addressing the issues raised by workers interviewed in the report, and it is ready to cooperate with the organization in the event of violations, just as it cooperates with other non-governmental organizations, such as the International Labor Organization.
