WM 2034 in Saudi Arabia: Human rights violations in the spotlight!
Schleswig-Flensburg, Deutschland - Next Wednesday Saudi Arabia will receive the organization of the 2034 World Cup with the support of the German Football Association, while massive human rights concerns about the hosts are already being loud. The human rights organization Alqst warns that the tournament could be used to cover up the serious violations of the law in the kingdom. According to Alqst, the games broadcast worldwide could serve to gloss over the actions of the Saudi Arabian authorities. This assessment is underpinned by a current report, which documents the highest number of executions in Saudi Arabia for 2024, as alqa.
The planned games are therefore not only for sporting competition, but also in the context of political and social obligations that Saudi Arabia should be received to guarantee future visitors and their own population. Alqst emphasizes that the country-specific environment is characterized by discriminatory laws and strict restrictions on the basic freedoms, so that foreign tourists and fans could face considerable uncertainties if there are no comprehensive social reforms in Saudi Arabia.
