CAIRO – 13 September 2017: The Arab Federation for Human Rights calls for pulling the 2022 World Cup from Qatar by providing two reports, one of them proves that Qatar has paid a bribe to host the World Cup, as mentioned in Saudi News Channel on Tuesday.

The Arab Federation has prepared a report about the risks that will pose if Qatar hosts the 2022 World Cup including the crucial evidences about the bribe Qatar offered to host the World Cup, said the Founder and Chairman of the Arab Federation for Human Rights Ahmed Al-Hamly.

The delegation of the federation will meet with the High Commissioner of Human Rights or his representative to clarify its situation towards Qatar, added Al-Hamly.
