A major new report being prepared is set "to expose" Qatar's alleged abuse of migrant workers on World Cup sites, its authors say.
The Amnesty International report will look into exploitation of labourers and provide evidence of their working conditions since the start of the project in 2010.
The study is based on interviews with more than 200 migrant workers and promises to deliver photographs, video and testimonies.
Qatar employs an estimated 1.8 million migrant workers, many of whom work in construction projects that were started after the Gulf country won the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The report is expected to be published on 31 March.
