I like this action. I hope they mentioned people died while crossing to EU (and UK) too.

Why this whataboutism? This is completely orthogonal to what you mention.

Migration and work. Same problem, same system, two locations. So why pointing out whataboutortogonalism?

Are you by any chance from the former eastern block? When you complained that a policeman beat you at a demo, the authority replied "Hmmm and they beat the black people in the US of A".

Same here -- all countries have problems, but this is about Qatar and no one else.

If you open your eyes beyond the Eastern block, you will see deaths linked to migration and work in every continent.
