The Qatar World Cup’s chief executive Nasser Al Khater responded to a question about a recent migrant worker casualty by telling reporters that “death is a natural part of life”, as well as saying journalists shouldn’t “bang on” about the topic....
Earlier on Thursday, FIFA general secretary Fatma Samoura refused to answer questions on the incident.
Samoura said she did not think the question was “appropriate” when she was asked to comment on the death.
“We’ve already elaborated long interventions on what we are doing with Qatar,” she said.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate when people are coming here to learn things, that we are talking about things that we’ve already discussed months and months and months and time and time ago.”
