The number of worker deaths from Qatar's giant World Cup campaign may never be known but the debate has already taken a toll on the Gulf state's name, experts say.

The evictions are a measure to keep Qatars glitzy and wealthy facade in place without publicly acknowledging the cheap labour that makes it possible, say rights activists.

Qatari authorities have evicted hundreds of migrant workers from buildings in central Doha, casting a new shadow over the countdown to the World Cup, residents and workers said Saturday.
