Not only jailed, but now in solitary confinement is whistleblower Abdullah Ibhais, a former Media Manager within Qatar’s World Cup organising committee, the Supreme Committee for "Delivery and Legacy." He had filmed the plight of migrant workers in the Al-Shahaniya labour camp outside Doha.  But with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken set to visit on November 21-22, two State Department officials on November 18 said Qatar has been doing good work on labor rights. The officials Deputy Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Daniel Benaim and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs Stacy White were asked about a Qatar diplomat telling Germany TV that gays have mental problems, and declined comment, pointing to the Emir inviting "everyone." Yeah.
