Qatar Press Enjoys TOTAL Freedom?

DOHA: The press enjoys total freedom in Qatar. Not a single journalist has been sentenced to jail (in defamation suits) in the past eight years. This was disclosed by Dr Ali Fetais Al Marri, Qatar’s Attorney General, in reply to questions from reporters at a press conference at the end of the UN anti-corruption meet here yesterday.

“The media here expresses itself freely. There are no restrictions,” he said. Al Marri said Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development is included among NGOs and is involved in the fight against corruption. The Foundation in its capacity as an NGO was assigned observer’s status at the UN anti-corruption conference, he added.
