The UK Foreign Office is looking into reports that two British men in Qatar who were investigating the treatment of migrant workers have gone missing. Krishna Upadhyaya, 52, and Gundev Ghimire, 36, have not been heard from since Sunday, the organisation they were working for said. The Global Network for Rights and Development (GNRD) said it suspected the men had been detained. But it said Qatari authorities had denied having any information. The men, both of Nepalese origin, had been in Qatar since 27 August, GNRD, a Norway-based non-governmental organisation, said. Mr Upadhyaya, a researcher, and photographer Mr Ghimire had been conducting research for a report on human rights in the country, which will host the World Cup in 2022. Qatar has faced criticised over the conditions migrants are working in ahead of the football tournament.
