HRW report: migrant workers in Saudi Arabia electrocuted, decapitated and falling to death

We speak to Ahmed Benchemsi, advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa at Human Rights Watch, which has published a report on grave abuses committed on construction sites in Saudi Arabia. HRW said "scores of migrant workers in Saudi Arabia die in gruesome yet avoidable workplace-related accidents, including falling from buildings, electrocution, and even decapitation" and warned the risks could increase as the building of stadiums for the 2034 World Cup gathers pace.
