Sådan har tusindvis af migrantarbejdere mistet livet i Qatar How thousands of migrant workers have lost their lives in Qatar

VM i Qatar bliver den største skandale i idrættens historie. The World Cup in Qatar will be the biggest scandal in the history of sport.

Aldrig før har så mange måttet lade livet for en idrætsbegivenhed. Never before have so many people lost their lives at a sporting event.

Kritik af forholdene for migranter, der skal gøre stadion klar til VM. Criticism of the conditions for migrants preparing the stadium for the World Cup.

De her billeder viser bagsiden af VM. These images show the flip side of the World Cup.

Det er billeder af migrantarbejdere, der arbejder som slaver - These are images of migrant workers working as slaves

- som gør Qatar klar til verdens største idrætsbegivenhed: VM 2022. - to prepare Qatar for the world's biggest sporting event: the 2022 World Cup.

Jeg er sportskommentator på Ekstra Bladet. I'm a sports commentator at Ekstra Bladet.

I ti år har jeg dækket det VM, som skal foregå i Qatar. For ten years I've been covering the World Cup, which will take place in Qatar.

Jeg har flere gange været i de lejre ude i ørkenen - I've been to those camps in the desert several times

- hvor migrantarbejderne lever under forhold, man tror er løgn. - where migrant workers live in conditions that are believed to be a lie.

Qatar vil have store idrætsbegivenheder - Qatar wants major sporting events

- så de har bygget alle mulige former for idrætshaller. - so they've built all kinds of sports halls.

De skal bruge otte stadioner til VM. De havde kun et, da de fik VM. They need eight stadiums for the World Cup. They only had one when they got the World Cup.

Så de har måttet importere arbejdskraft fra udlandet - So they've had to import labor from abroad.

- især fra de fattigste lande i Asien og Afrika.

Sidst jeg var der, var der 2 mio. migrantarbejdere. Last time I was there, there were 2 million migrant workers.

Nu er tallet måske 2,5 mio. migrantarbejdere - Now the figure might be 2.5 million migrant workers -.

- som skal gøre landet lækkert til VM. - to make the country great for the World Cup.

I Qatar er der voldsom kritik af forholdene for de ... In Qatar, there is widespread criticism of the conditions for ...

... tusindvis af udlændinge - ... thousands of foreigners...

- der skal bygge de stadioner, som skal bruges til VM i fodbold i 2022. - who will build the stadiums that will be used for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

En migrantarbejder står op kl. 6, og så er det ind til en byggeplads. A migrant worker gets up at 6am and it's off to a construction site.

Der er 35-40 grader. Hvis de er uheldige, er der over 45 grader. It's 35-40 degrees. If they're unlucky, it's over 45 degrees.

Migrantarbejderne må gerne arbejde om sommeren dernede. Migrant workers are allowed to work in the summer down there.

Der er for varmt for spillerne, så VM er flyttet til november/december. It's too hot for the players, so the World Cup has been moved to November/December.

Jeg har oplevet mange ting. I have experienced many things.

Men jeg har aldrig oplevet noget så klamt og uhumsk og ulækkert. But I've never experienced anything so gross and unhygienic and disgusting.

I flere år har Qatars regering lovet migrantarbejderne bedre forhold. For years, the Qatari government has promised migrant workers better conditions.

I en af barakkerne boede der 14. Der var plads til 10. One of the barracks housed 14. There was room for 10.

Mange af dem, jeg talte med, var midt i tyverne, men lignede nogen på 50. Many of the people I spoke to were in their mid-twenties, but looked 50.

De var jo så udtærede og slidte. They were so worn and worn out.

De lever under usle forhold - They live in squalid conditions.

- får meget lidt i løn eller slet ingen løn - - are paid very little or no salary at all

- og er fanget i en situation, som minder om slavelignende forhold. - and are trapped in a slave-like situation.

Migrantarbejderne fortæller om dødsfald, de har oplevet. Migrant workers talk about deaths they have experienced.

En kollega, som ikke vågner om morgenen, som var pludselig død. A colleague who doesn't wake up in the morning, who had died suddenly.

Vi fik faktisk en liste, som vi kunne smugle med ud. We actually got a list that we could smuggle out.

Den viser unge nepalesere i deres bedste alder - It shows young Nepalese people in their prime.

- som pludselig er døde i sengen eller har hængt sig. - who have suddenly died in bed or hanged themselves.

De fleste af dem er pludselige dødsfald - Most of them are sudden deaths.

- som myndighederne i Qatar ikke vil efterforske. - that the authorities in Qatar will not investigate.

De vægter penge højere end menneskeliv. They value money over human life.

Spørger man migrantarbejderne om årsagen til de mange dødsfald - If you ask migrant workers about the reason for the high number of deaths

- er svaret ret enkelt. - the answer is quite simple.

Det er det hårde arbejde under vanvittige temperaturer - It's the hard work in crazy temperatures.

- i vanvittigt mange timer. - for an insane amount of hours.

De slider sig selv op under slavelignende forhold. They wear themselves out in slave-like conditions.

Senest fortæller en Amnesty-rapport - Most recently, an Amnesty report says

- at over 15.000 ikke-qatarere er døde siden 2010. - that over 15,000 non-Qataris have died since 2010.

Det er alt for mange, der dør i en alt for ung alder. Too many people are dying at too young an age.

International fodbold er en kæmpe forretning - International football is a huge business

- som er ramt af beskyldninger om korruption, pengefrås og magtmisbrug. - which has been hit by allegations of corruption, graft and abuse of power.

FIFA's præsident trak Qatar op af kuverten. The FIFA president pulled Qatar out of the envelope.

Fodboldverdenen blev chokeret. Qatar har aldrig deltaget ved VM. The football world was shocked. Qatar has never participated in the World Cup.

De har aldrig leveret fodboldmæssige resultater. They have never delivered footballing results.

Der er kun én forklaring: korruption. Qatar har købt sig til det VM. There is only one explanation: corruption. Qatar has bought its way to the World Cup.

En engelsk avis afslørede i går, at Qatar har betalt 5 mio. dollars - An English newspaper revealed yesterday that Qatar has paid 5 million dollars.

- mod at få VM i 2022. - towards getting the World Cup in 2022.

DBU var ikke med til at beslutte, at VM skal afholdes i Qatar. DBU was not involved in the decision to host the World Cup in Qatar.

Fodboldfans har lagt pres på DBU. Football fans have put pressure on DBU.

Man skal tage stilling. You have to take a stand.

At sport og politik ikke skal blandes sammen, er noget fis. The idea that sports and politics shouldn't mix is bullshit.

Det er ikke fedt at spille en kamp, når så mange mennesker er døde. It's not great to play a game when so many people have died.

Det hele bliver ligesom handlet af. DBU siger: It all kind of gets traded off. DBU says:

"Vi fortsætter den kritiske dialog. Vi skriver breve til FIFA og Qatar." "We continue the critical dialog. We write letters to FIFA and Qatar."

Men, siger DBU også, hvis vi skal boykotte VM i Qatar - But, DBU also says, if we are to boycott the World Cup in Qatar

- så skal den beslutning træffes af politikerne. Det er ikke deres bord. - then that decision should be made by politicians. It's not their job.

Det her med boykot og udmeldelse tror jeg ikke på. I don't believe in the boycott and divestment thing.

Det her VM vil være det mest medieovervågede VM nogensinde. This World Cup will be the most media-watched World Cup ever.

Skyggen af døde migrantarbejdere vil være der. The shadow of dead migrant workers will be there.

Det vil kaste efterdønninger af sig. There will be repercussions.

For Qatar vil det bare fortsætte. De vil gå efter det næste mål: OL. For Qatar, it will just keep going. They will go for the next goal: the Olympics.

De kan jo det hele. They can do it all.

De har haft håndbold-, atletik-, svømme- og cykel-VM. Nu fodbold-VM. They've had handball, athletics, swimming and cycling World Cups. Now the soccer World Cup.

De kan blive ved, så længe idrætsledere siger ja og bøjer sig. They can keep going as long as sports leaders say yes and bend over backwards.
