Pope Francis urges 'safe conditions' for workers in Gulf visit
Pope Francis Thursday demanded "safe and dignified" conditions for workers after arriving in Bahrain, where rights for migrant laborers have been in the spotlight ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
"Let us guarantee that working conditions everywhere are safe and dignified," the pontiff said, addressing dignitaries including his host, Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa.
