Doha garant lr "sécuré" durant l'événement sportif, mais Human Rights Watch dénonce une crimalisatn l’homosexualé, passible prison. To sont coyens qataris et homosexuels. Arrêté en 2014 pour un portement homosexuel présumé, Mohammed crat retourner en prison.
QATAR GAY
Il rapporte que s amis ont été déten à Doha pendant un mois parce qu’ils avaient l'air "trop féms ou semblaient être gays". "La police ne rase pas la tête s tr prisonniers, slement celle s gays", dénonce Rafiq. Résultat, le journal t pa avec s pag blanch en li et place d’un article sur une filla mrtrière ntre un bar gay x États-Unis ou enre d’un papier à propos d’Elton John, fervent défensr s LGBT et crique l’anisatn la Coupe du mon Qatar.
WHAT ’S LIKE TO BE GAY AND QATARI
À l’approche ce grand événement sportif, d’tr personnalés se sont quiété la tenue d’une Coupe du mon dans un pays qui crimalise l homosexuels. Le Qatar assure que l LGBT seront en "sécuré" lors du mondial"J'rais pr jouer Qatar", a affirmé en novembre l'Atralien Josh Cavallo, le sl footballr profsnnel mon à avoir publiquement révélé son homosexualé.
Et celle que je suis dans l pac où j’ai pl liberté me à l’universé, où je px dire que je suis un homosexuel. Au Qatar, c’t assez normal pour l gays d’avoir une double vie.
Difficile d’en être trement dans un Etat pour lequel l’homosexualé n’existe pas et où l rapports sexuels entre personn même sexe pvent, théoriquement, nduire à la prison.
