Amnesty calls Qatar out for ‘unexplained’ deaths of migrant workers

The rights group’s review of data from major labour-sending countries has found that the rate of unexplained migrant worker deaths in Qatar may be close to 70 percent.

Yam Bahadur Rana died in Qatar on 22 February 2020. The 34-year-old was employed as a security guard at the Hamad International Airport in Doha. He died while on duty as a result of what the Qatari authorities described as “acute cardiorespiratory failure due to natural causes”.
