Qatar

Despite Qatar’s ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in 2018, the right to freedom of opinion and expression is still not guaranteed.  In fact, the Penal Code criminalises criticism of the Emir, and national media outlets cannot report freely.  Free expression online is jeopardised by Law on Combating Cybercrime’s, which contains exceedingly broad provisions, allowing room for misinterpretation and abuse by the authorities.

Qatari laws continue to discriminate against women and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals. Throughout 2020, the diplomatic crisis persisted between Qatar on one side and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the other, over Qatar’s alleged support of terrorism and ties with Iran, impacting the rights of Qataris and other Gulf and Egyptian nationals too.  Although there have been recent announcements that the borders will re-open with a resumption of international relations between these countries in the Gulf Region

Thank you for visiting Detained.org.uk.

Our new website is launching soon.

 

Detained International is a not-for-profit human rights organisation providing free legal advocacy, crisis support, and media and political campaigning for victims of injustice in Dubai and the wider UAE. While we put the finishing touches to our new site, we are also excited to be unveiling a fresh rebrand and have some exciting news about joining forces with some fantastic fellow human rights advocates, together, we will be an even more indomitable force for those who have nowhere else to turn. One thing remains constant, when individuals and families face their most desperate moments in Dubai and the wider UAE, we are there for them, free of charge.

 

Our team of specialist lawyers, crisis managers, media, PR and communications experts, and expert witnesses has an unrivalled track record across some of the most high-profile human rights cases in Dubai and the UAE. Whether it is a wrongful arrest, a custody dispute, cross-border litigation, an Interpol Red Notice, bringing an injustice to the United Nations, our international campaign to free Princess Latifa, our support to Princess Haya, or our work standing alongside the remarkable and courageous Zeynab Zavadli in her fight for justice for herself and her children, we have been at the forefront of it all for over a decade. This new website is long overdue.

 

Watch this space.
