Qatar cannot wait to be an international sporting venue. This weekend the tiny Gulf monarchy hosted its first Formula 1 Grand Prix. And in twelve months time, football fans will fly in for the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But already some sports stars are speaking out about Qatar\u2019s human rights record. Seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton voiced concerns ahead of yesterday\u2019s race. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formula 1 has circuits in other repressive Gulf regimes: Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia – none of which allow free press or fair elections. But Qatar \u201cseems to be deemed as one of the worst in this part of the world,\u201d Hamilton observed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo I wish that more sportsmen and women spoke out on these issues? Yes,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That passes the ball to stars like David Beckham. He\u2019s scored a \u00a3150 million deal<\/a> to be Qatar\u2019s World Cup ambassador. For that price, the authorities might hope he\u2019ll ignore their more sinister activities: Like where\u2019s Noof al-Maadeed?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s a 23-year-old women\u2019s rights activist from Qatar who fled to Britain two years ago. Noof said she was a victim of domestic abuse and sought asylum in the UK. \u201c[I was] only allowed to go to school and back,\u201d Noof told<\/a> Human Rights Watch. \u201cAnything else [and I] can expect a beating.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatari laws give extreme powers to men. Rothna Begum, a women\u2019s rights expert at the group, explained more. \u201cThere\u2019s no domestic violence legislation in Qatar,\u201d she told Declassified<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat means it\u2019s very difficult for women to seek assistance when they are fleeing abuse. And unmarried women under the age of 25 still need an exit permit to leave the country from their male guardian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homecoming<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite these dangers, last month Noof decided to go back to Qatar. \u201cShe returned with assurances from the Qatari government that she would be safe and that she would be able to live her life in Qatar,\u201d Begum said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after a few days, Noof vanished. Human Rights Watch has not heard from her since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe haven’t been able to reach her. No one we know who was a friend of hers is able to contact her,\u201d Begum said anxiously. \u201cWe are concerned that she may be essentially held somewhere without access to the outside world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“No one we know who was a friend of hers is able to contact her”<\/p>Human Rights Watch<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Noof\u2019s disappearance should worry the sports stars flocking to Qatar. But what about the British government, which has exceedingly close ties to Doha? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gulf regime is supposedly guaranteeing Britain\u2019s gas<\/a> supplies this winter. In return, Whitehall sells Doha plenty of weapons<\/a> \u2013 \u00a36 billion worth of Typhoon fighter jets to be precise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe UK does have a very specific role to play to ensure that they are doing everything in their power not to allow human rights abuses to continue\u201d, Begum said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe UK government should be doing a lot more to call on the Qatari authorities to ensure that Noof is not just safe, but she is also free and able to live an independent life. And right now all the indications suggest that she\u2019s not able to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declassified<\/em> asked Qatar\u2019s embassy in London, and the UK Foreign Office, to comment on Noof\u2019s whereabouts. Neither responded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arms deals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Britain\u2019s Home Office does appear to acknowledge there\u2019s a risk for women in Qatar. Declassified<\/em> has found the immigration department granted asylum<\/a> to six Qatari women and two girls already this year. That\u2019s still only a handful of cases, but a noticeable spike compared to previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of them is Aisha al-Qahtani. She comes from a powerful military family in Qatar who allegedly beat her and closely controlled her movements. She has blamed<\/a> Qatar\u2019s authorities for allowing male relatives to get away with \u201cthis crazy, barbaric behaviour\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Dubai dictator who is the Queen\u2019s close friend and...<\/h2><\/a>\n READ MORE <\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet Britain\u2019s foreign secretary Liz Truss doesn\u2019t seem to mind. One of her first trips abroad since taking office was to jet out to Qatar to \u201cboost economic and security ties.\u201d Such bonds are already very close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Royal Air Force recently formed two joint squadrons with Qatar. A merger like that hasn\u2019t been made since Polish pilots joined British ranks in World War Two. Qatar\u2019s defence minister was even taken for a ride<\/a> in one of the Typhoon\u2019s over Lincolnshire last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taliban advisers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Truss praises Qatar for playing \u201ca critical role in supporting safe passage\u201d of Afghan refugees. Yet she isn\u2019t as vocal about Qatar\u2019s role in bringing the Taliban in from the cold. Doha opened a diplomatic HQ for the fundamentalist movement in 2013 and effectively welcomed its return to Kabul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the Taliban took over more recently, Qatari authorities said they\u2019d been speaking to officials about why education for girls is important,\u201d Begum commented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve been using their own record to say that they are pushing for a pro-women’s rights agenda from the Taliban officials. The problem is of course that we have documented that the Qatari authorities are not as good on women\u2019s rights as they should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are Qatari women for whom it’s upsetting to see their own government do this and yet actually deny women their rights at home. They\u2019re one of the most conservative countries in the region when it comes to women\u2019s rights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saudi Arabia has lowered the age that unmarried women need a male relative\u2019s permission to leave the Kingdom to under 21. Qatar\u2019s remains at 25. Begum believes the country is now becoming an outlier, and Britain is turning a blind eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cQatari authorities allow men to have such power over women and the UK has not done anything about this for years,\u201d she said. \u201cThey have done very little knowing that there are British women stuck, who don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begum\u2019s research found that a British father residing in Qatar was able to use the power that \u201cthe Qatari authorities give to all men, to wield over his daughter and to deny her rights.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Dying for football<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another cause for concern in Qatar is the treatment of its migrant workers. Millions of expats from mostly poorer countries came to Doha to help build the World Cup stadiums. The figure for those estimated to have died is staggering – 6,500, which could be due to the sweltering heat they had to work in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years they also faced severe restrictions on being able to change employers, which put them at risk of forced labour. It\u2019s known as the kafala<\/em> \u2013 or sponsorship \u2013 system. Qatari authorities now claim to have reformed it, although concerns persist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begum believes Britain, which once occupied Qatar and much of the Gulf, also has a case to answer here. \u201cThey have left behind a lot of problems,\u201d she commented. \u201cI would say the kafala<\/em> system exists in the Middle East the way it does today because of the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the 1920s, when they started oil exploration, they were bringing in colonial workers, indentured servitude workers, into the Gulf to help. And when they were doing that, they wanted to have control over their workers. So they actually helped commercialise and build the sponsorship system as we know it today in the Gulf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKafala<\/em> is an older concept but the way in which that is an immigration law and an immigration system actually came out as a result of the UK\u2019s historical presence in the Gulf,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Britain still at Qatar\u2019s side a century later, it remains to be seen how much will change in the year left until the World Cup kicks off. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
