The Guardian reported that several security guards working in stadiums in Qatar have been imprisoned or deported and fined after disputes over wages with the subcontracting security company Stark Security. 

Stark Security had employed hundreds of security guards to be stationed at tournament sites of the World Cup tournament. The workers, who mainly come from southeast Asia and Africa, had signed contracts for six months, however, they were let off days before the World Cup finale.

Their contracts were nullified 3 months early without prior notice, which violates the Qatari labor law entitling employers to a one-month notice if they want to end the contract earlier than specified. 

After attempting to dispute the early termination of their contracts, the two men were allegedly detained and deported along with hundreds of others.
