Qatar abusing vistors

-

Not only does Qatar abuse workers, it is hell-bent on abusing visitors as well (“Migrant workers in Qatar see fruit of their Fifa labour from afar”, November 21).

I have just seen reports that it will not allow any kosher food or kosher cooking during the Fifa World Cup which is now under way, and will certainly not allow any form of

Jewish prayer.

Imagine if any other country did that to any other religion. There would be an internatio­nal outcry.

Furthermor­e, as we enter into the 16 days of activism for no violence against women and children, it should be noted that Qatar treats its women as second-class citizens. Women have few rights, if any at all.
