Police have been contacted about a recent assault on a petrol station employee in Qatar, state-run Qatar Fuel (Woqod) has said in response to a public outcry over footage depicting the attack.
A 26-second video clip that appears to be CC camera footage shows an altercation between two men, in which a man in a white thobe standing next to a Landcruiser strikes a Woqod attendant dressed in a blue jumpsuit.
In the video, the petrol station employee falls to the ground unmoving, while another employee looks on.
In a message on its Facebook page yesterday evening, Woqod said it “strongly condemns this unfortunate incident.”
‘Not tolerated’
It did not provide specifics about which gas station the altercation took place in or when it happened, but added:
“WOQOD took immediate action through the involvement of the police in Doha. The person who punched the WOQOD employee has been interviewed by the police and action appropriate to the incident is being taken and is being (pursued) by WOQOD’s legal team.
This has always been WOQOD’s position for all such incidents and has led to successful prosecutions. Such behaviour to WOQOD employees will simply not be tolerated.”
Footage of the assault began circulating on Facebook and Twitter last week, garnering hundreds of comments about social injustice and calls for the perpetrator to be punished.
On Qatar Living, commenter BritExpat said:
“Man’s inhumanity to man. I hope the authorities will trace the moron and take action. I hope – but I don’t think it will happen.”
Other commenters accused Arabs and Qataris in general of being guilty of brutality, and lambasted the state for letting them get away with it. However, some residents decried the stereotyping, saying:
“Don’t speak about Arabs like that … Don’t you have such incidents in your countries ????? does that make all of you bad or Savage ???? respect your self and respect others, or don’t write/speak things like that. by insulting anyone means you are much worst than them…”
Thoughts?
wallah HARAM, i hope the police find him
Did you read the article? The police did find him. And interview him. And then he got in his car, picked up a karak and drove home.
very mature comment . shows your true nature
” The person who punched the WOQOD employee has been interviewed by the police and action appropriate to the incident is being taken and is being (pursued) by WOQOD’s legal team.”
Next time it would save you embarrassment if you read the article before making comments.
& your added part to the story shows your VIEW of the matter how ???
The kind of guy who hits a man so hard that he falls to the ground in broad daylight, in public, and at a busy service station, and who then can be interviewed by the police and NOT ARRESTED is clearly relaxed enough to stop for a karak on the way home. He doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong, and nor do the police.
this is WQOOD statment.(The person who punched the WOQOD employee has been interviewed by the police and action appropriate to the incident is being taken and is being (pursued) by WOQOD’s legal team. ) where can one find that the police let him go or any other things your ADDING TO THE STORY ?????
Where can you find that the police arrested him “or any other things your ADDING TO THE STORY ?????”
Where can I find what happened to the guy who leaked the video. Charged with defaming the aggressor.
He is already in the deportation area .. serving his term so that he could pay the fines then back to his home country !!!
He tripped over a plastic barricade.
Well, considering that there are convicted killers wandering around Europe representing Qatar, why would one expect this guy to be punished? The justice system in Qatar hasn’t done a whole lot to encourage confidence in it.
well american war criminals are called Veterans, your point ??? we are talking about this story, try to stay with this one for once .
You are confusing serviceman with people who were taken to court and found GUILTY for the deaths at Villagio. Those guilty people haven’t spent a night in jail. Is that also “wallah HARAM”?
stay with the topic. its hard i know, when you add your own words to this story show us your facts, not your imagination of what may happened.
There’s a video of what happened. What are you on about.
The man in the thobe hit the guy in the blue coveralls.
No imagination needed.
Man in thobe hits other man.
VIDEO!!
& your police part (you dont the fact? its ok , you dont have to add your own )
and the “karak” part…
The thing is, it’s not stated whether he was arrested or not, all we know is that he is identified and was interviewed, adding the comment that he went for a karak obviously implies your assumption of him being Qatari or Arab, which seems a tad racist if you ask me. Anyway, until an official statement is released we wouldn’t really know what would happen, speculate as much as you want but please keep it respectful.
The guy is wearing a thobe and driving a white LC – he could be from anywhere but just driving on the roads and opening your eyes will lead you to make certain assumptions based on these 2 characteristics.
many personal Pakistani & Indian even far east Asians wear thobe , many are personal many own LC or/drivers to Qataris family , so not just Arabs wear thobe in Qatar.
I’m not saying it is correct, I’m just saying that looking at a white LC and a guy in a thobe is unfortunately going to immediately have people thinking he is likely one of the multitude of locals that drive a white LC.
It’s unfortunate that people will jump to conclusions, but the fact the police have not released the nationality of the person who king hit the poor worker will only sway people more towards this line of thought.
Exactly, pink people will have a hard time understanding that.
If someone is wearing a white thobe and driving a LC, knocks a guy out in public with no provocation, and then calmly leaves the scene without the slightest fear of getting punched in return, it’s pretty clear that that person is secure and confident in the knowledge of the social position he enjoys as a person who wears a white thobe and drives a white LC. Perhaps if there weren’t so many examples of people who wear white thobes and drive white LCs using and abusing a broken system, the rest of the the white thobe wearing, white LC-driving population wouldn’t be so discriminated against in such a horribly racist and unfair way.
So, by your logic Qatar’s veterans or Syria and Yemen are war criminals? I applaud your courage for bringing this topic up. How will Qatari society deal with these war criminals? Or, how about we agree that veteran doesn’t equal war criminal. War criminal equals war criminal.
not what the above story is about, when the DN have a story about it , ill comment.
You just wrote a comment to say you won’t comment, but if there’s a story you will comment? Very existential.
my comment was to make sure that he knows that the above story is talking about something, while he is discussing another , very annoying to remind ppl to stay with the story .
Nor is it remotely about American war crimes in Iraq, but you brought that up.
its annoying to say this , stay with the story
Ha, welcome to my world.
Deleting for getting off track.
How was the interview I am sure his promotion is on the way !! Soon you will find them in MOI 🙂
Why is everyone assuming that the guy is Qatari? From his thobe he looks more like an Arab but not necessarily a Qatari. But regardless of which nationality he has, he is an idiot and he deserves to be sued. I hope the poor labourer gets a good financial compensation from this incident.
Fair point there. I am just stunned that nobody ran over to intervene or help. I appreciate that the clip was short though.
Would you if it branded you a ‘troublemaker’ to your employer? Most would turn a blind eye for fear of losing their job. And that’s the system that many workers are faced with here – blue- and white-collar workers. “Put up, shut up or pack up (back to your own country).”
I understand your point but I would like to think that I would.
I’d be terrified that if I tried to go and help him while Mr Thobe was still there that he would beat the crap out of me as well.
We could take him together Michael. ?
either ways, he need to be jailed if he wasn’t already .
Hot damn, something that we agree on! Mark this day on your calendar, or your PS, whichever you prefer.
i never said it was ok , but we dont what really happened after the incident ( no police comment were given ) just Waqod .
Don’t take it back, enjoy the agreement, seize it, revel in it.
Loool
A jail term would be too harsh, especially if the employee is fine and didn’t suffer anything. I’d rather have him pay few thousand riyals in compensation to the poor employee.
Why would jail be too harsh Yacine? It it was your dad or son that was hit you may feel differently. I think that jail and a fine would be welcome.
Unless the employee has been incapacitated for days, it would be harsh for me to jail the offender. From the video it does not look like a violent punch. And yes, the same rule would apply on my dad too.
Now that said, the behaviour of the offender should be taken into consideration. If he shows sincere remorse, apologizes and accepts to pay a compensation then he does not deserve the jail term. If he behaves arrogantly or doesn’t show up to court then a jail term would be the right punishment for him.
Wow!
Come On! Any fist thrown in this manner is a violent reaction…..how can a punch not be violent? It threw the poor victim off his feet! Sorry or not -an assault is an assault and should be punishable as such!
If someone punched your father like that, you would be happy for the offender to pay a few thousand riyals to you and that would be adequate justice?
I answered Huzz on this.

Anyone can mimic a facial expression or behaviour that says-oh,oh,oh I am so sorry, forgive me, how wrong I was! Jail time to learn a lesson, but proper jail time AanD compensation to the employee -AND community time: to work as a petrol attendant for one month.
i think its up for the employee to decide , for me jail is fair.
Assaulting an individual is considered as a crime in civilized countries. It is an attack against human dignity.
While compensation can benefit the poor employee, it will only embolden those who are in power to hit anyone because they can afford to pay the compensation.
In other words, Its like this: If I don’t like your service, let me slap you. If you dirtied my car, let me punch you. I can afford to pay you afterwards right? Let us really show you what you mean to us, as slaves…
sorry but a lot of ppl don’t even go to jail for killing in some so called CIVILIZED countries ( COPS KILLING BLACK PPL , ) we are talking about Qatar, where the options are different . laws are different.
Assault is a crime in developed countries, and it it can be proven, the offender goes to court and is punished,
but the punishment is not the same , in each country , which is what im talking about, what goes in US/UK takes its laws, not other countries.here in Qatar it takes Qatar laws .not other countries.
Let’s not pretend that there aren’t these kinds of problems in the justice system in developed countries. The injustices just tend to be more subtle. Just look at the prison statistics in the US, certain races and economic classes tend to get harsher sentences than others for the same exact crimes and situations.
Perhaps one of the most ridiculous examples of this is the case of the 16 year old Ethan Coach in Texas who hit and killed 4 pedestrians and seriously injured 2 others from drunk driving. His attorney successfully argued that his actions were not his fault and that his affluent upbringing did not teach him a respect for rules or discipline. His only sentence was long term therapy. I kid you not, you can google it. He got off because they basically said he was spoiled his whole life and doesn’t know right from wrong.
The difference though is that in most developed countries the media and nonprofit groups are able to name and shame injustices and bring it to the attention of the masses.
I’m not saying there’s no such thing as racial discrimination in the West, #blacklivesmatter has shown that. Ultimately, though, the systems in the West are geared toward equality even if it doesn’t always work out that way. Here, the government doesn’t seem to be aspiring toward it.
I think one of the biggest differences is actually transparency. If court records, verdicts and inmate statistics were readily available in Qatar then we would all have a better picture of what goes on. The culture here is very heavily based on a mentality of keeping things to yourself. Whether it is charging a qatari with murder or a qatari committing suicide, family reputation is considered a very sacred thing. This is also why family problems are kept in the family and professional help is rarely used. I think the society will become more transparent only if in the future there is less importance placed on family reputation.
Cops killing black people? Your posts come across to me like you gave something against white people.
since you don’t read well , i said COPS Killing black people. you are the one who translated COPS= white . do you think only white people are allowed to be cops ??/ LOL
I think you know exactly what you were implying.
im not implying anything , Google COPS killing black people & you will see for your self .
COPS do not routinely kill black people–just like Arabs do not routinely assault petrol station attendants and gunmen do not routinely shoot at busloads of nepalese workers. Your comments do come across sometimes like you have something against white people, just like other people’s posts come across as having something against Arabs. Yet on both sides it is often just a reaction to a non routine incident and is sometimes used as an excuse to make comments on each other’s nationality or race. Wishing you a happy day and hoping for some good and interesting articles on Doha News.
again you didn’t read , my reply was to ELKHORN , that implied that only in CIVILIZED countries this is considered a crime/assault , while forgetting many crimes ( like COPS killing black ppl ) are still there with no punishment , I commented about the crime punishment ( while you saw the race issue in it ) its your view point ,not mine
I replied to what you replied to me. My goodness you are quite verbally aggressive. Have a good day and hope you mood improves. Kind Regards
verbally aggressive in asking you should google the topic !!!?????, LOL
Another reference to the USA.
some call it a civilized country , that’s why i replied
Whoever said the US is civilized?
Deleting part of this thread for getting off track.
In the US, there are lots of people arguing if “black lives matter”…
That would be like, as an example, making a traffic system where punishment (vehicles being impounded, licenses confiscated, drivers arrested etc) being largely replaced by hefty monetary fines that the rich can pay and not give a second thought to. Imagine what the roads would be like in such a country.
Money is acceptable in these parts. Havent you heard of blood money?
I wouldn’t take the Western world as a reference for harsh or even fair sentences. Most of the time, rapists and pedophiles and other criminals there are freed after few years or get a suspended sentence in some cases. Rules in the West are generally lax.
What do you mean by “civilized countries”???!!! You have some weird assumptions here.
Jail time is needed to learn it,s not ok to be violent and paying money will sort it out. Money will never return to the injured person respect and dignity that he deserved.
That is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard anyone say. So stupid I know it would not be worth it to explain why. You would fail to understand.
sorry all i got from your comment was stupidity .
Deleting for attack.
What this guy did is completely unacceptable but you Yacine calling him idiot is also unacceptable.
Ok…
I wonder if this guy ever would have been spoken to at all by the police if the video had not gone viral?
Guy in thobe hits guy in blue coveralls —- hmmm
Woqod say yes….. I remain dubious.
It does also raise the interesting question of how the video got leaked. Who isolated this part of the CCTV footage, and then released it? Are they now going to be in trouble too?
It does. Was it “accidentally” released due to inaction?
Any valuable points made by commentators on this post are lost amongst the bickering. Wearing a Thobe does not define your citizenship. Nor does wearing any other country’s national dress.
From an observer’s point of view we are not in a position to judge motive or intent that resulted in this outcome. Self-control would have been advisable at the time. We do appreciate Authorities doing their job well, but it is understood that local authorities have varying approaches to similar incidents depending on the parties involved.
As residents of this country. permanent or temporary, it would best serve us all to be polite and patient with service providers and customers alike, accepting natural communications gaps and personal daily events that leave us all feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
Throwing punches on this thread is no different from the video posted.
Your comment is one of the best most balanced and level headed that I’ve ever seen here or anywhere.
Sadly, the anonymity provided by the internet allows people to express their darkest thoughts and feelings without the same consideration
and care they’d have in real life.
Appreciate your candor.
If you had to make a guess though, what nationality would you say a man in a white thobe driving a LandCruiser is?
Katie
He is obviously an American.
He seems to be Russian 🙂
He could have been any nationality… Qatari? Saudi? Yemeni? Egyptian? Iranian? Pakistani? or anything else….
Someone whom could be attempting to be Qatari. You see, not EVERYONE wearing a thob and drives a Landcruiser is Qatari.
The thobe doesn’t look like a Qatari thobe… It still doesn’t define the nationality of the perpetrator of this crime.
I don’t think that it is a Qatari. I would suspect that it is just a thug who wears a thobe. There are many people like this here and they just wear the gear as they feel that it will make people afraid of them.
dude get your eyes CHEKCED — you know this guy is the next OJ Simpson,,,,there is vidio of the CRIME and the police will do their best to find a poor expat to take the blame.
When was the last time YOU saw a LOCAL ARAB held for his actions ?
Cmon thats a little unfair. Few months ago some guy in a land cruiser was following my sister (she was on foot). Cops saw this and stopped the guy immediately, Then gave her a ride to her building. All very courteously.
As for the video, maybe the guy in blue was somehow antagonizing the gentleman in white? Granted it doesnt excuse the assault but we do not know the circumstances. We cant really judge based on a blurry 20 second video.
An employee at a petrol station ‘antagonising’ a man that by all accounts looks like a national….. What planet are you on??? The majority of poorly paid expats are petrified of men dressed like this. Do you live in Qatar? Do you not see and feel the culture of fear in this country??
“””””The majority of poorly paid expats are petrified of men dressed like this. Do you live in Qatar? Do you not see and feel the culture of fear in this country??”””””
poorly paid according to whom ??? petrified ?? culture of fear ?? ( in your mind set only ) then why people are still coming to work here, ?? if your feel like that, what are YOU doing here ??
seem like you are from a different planet.
Exactly, these stereotypes have no basis whatsoever.
None whatsoever?
Well the expat did recklessly throw his face at this man’s fists. The man could have been seriously injured with a broken knuckle. They take an age to heal…..
and your prove on this claim are?? prove that the police dont hold ppl here ( local/or not) for thier action. making up story of your own dont make it the truth .
if he is wasta he will go free (remember villagio fire; your ambassador and wife are still free (and they are both Qatari and waste).
again , with no prove you cant say he is free or whatever
Deleting for devolving the thread.
I agree. It looks like what is defined in Qatar as ‘other Arabs’. Either that or a Bedouin.
Yes, regarding personal profiling and racism you have done a doctorate. You are may be correct. Shame on you loser!!!
Yes, these ‘others’ come in handy when the job needs to be done.
Which job?
could be. But the chance is high that he is.
Exactly!
Not EVERYONE. But most. The vast, vast majority.
Obviously a Pilipino !! LOL
only the racist sees/cares about the nationality of the crime instead of the crime it self , but some minds are raised with it & that what will they all ways go for.
Race is relevant. If Qatar was the kind of country that didn’t revolve around the colour of your passport and the level of wasta you can generate if wouldn’t be. But it is. It’s not me that’s racist, it’s the system that treats people differently based on their nationality that is.
call a SPADE A SPADE….this is a LOCAL ARAB MAN – there is NOT an expat that would do that without knowing he would be SENT HOME or HANGED in public.
these Arab’s are COWARDS….why can they NOT HELP the Syrians??
your prove his an local Arab man ???& calling Arabs cowards only shows the racism/ & hate you have against ARABS. thanks JOE to let us know about your sick mind .
look at your own sick mind
your nick name is missing a K , mr KK .
Deleting for attack.
track record of much more heinous crimes here does not provide optimism of justice for the poor guy
Nothing will happen to this guy. The only reason it has so far is because it was released on social media and picked up by too many people to be ignored.
People who think they will go to jail or be prosecuted by the policefor their actions do not go about bashing defenseless people in public places.
heinous crimes ??? yeah . its an assault , crime is deferent , what are the crimes again in qatar ????
I pity your lack of empathy if you can’t perceive such behavior as criminal.
The kids who died at Villagio, the Filipino family killed by senseless driving, the English teacher who was killed and the HMC doc who was beaten up at work – just some examples where few people consider justice has been done.
How do you think Big Thobey treats the domestic help in his house if he’s willing to behave this way in broad daylight?
It doesn’t bear thinking about 🙁
I have a suggestion. Send the man-with-the-thobe to go and fight in Yemen. That way he can get rid of his aggression on people that are at least able to defend themselves. LOL
or just let the AMERICANS Kill them with drones , they are good at that.
americans can’t police the gas stations with drones. that’s silly.
the comment is about Yemen. haha, silly .
yeah. i got it.
Why use American resources when Muslims are the best at demolishing each other to extinction? 🙂
Exactly send this guys to Yemen or further away and lets see how big a hero this guys are instead of trying to beat and brutalize a poor worker and maids out there. Just wondering what would have been the result if the poor Asian had to do the same to the other guy in the white dress. The authorities would have already locked up the poor worker by now if he was the trouble maker without even giving him a chance to defend himself
did you get any FACTS about this story if they let the offender wants locked already ? if you don’t ,then don’t make your own facts which is based on your IMAGINATIONS of how things are/ or going to be.
wasnt** locked
I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, the man inflecting harm on another or the man whom looked on and walked away.
Looked on, recorded a video, cut the video to a specific scene, added a blur effect, slowed it down and added music to add drama, posted on youtube and spread it on social media, gets almost 18,000 views.
I don’t know why we always have to default to talking about people’s ethnicity in this country. Let’s all just agree this is clearly assault and the guy deserves whatever the law indicates is the appropriate punishment: Qatari, Pakistani, British, American it does not matter. I’d make him pay a huge fine to the guy he punched and then make him choose between jail or working in Woqod for a month.
Exactly, just a master beating his own slave. Nothing to see here! Move on!
Whatever it is, it’s still an ASSAULT! Don’t belittle other people you don’t know what they can do to you when they fight back. Doesn’t matter what nationality this guy is, it matters what he did and it’s a reflection of who he is!!!!
No, you don’t do it because it’s wrong. Not because I never know what they can do to me when they fight back.
The point is, what he did to this guy. And it reflects not just to him but to all men who wore thobe that somehow that they can hit anyone, anytime and anywhere.
It is annoying because I doubt we will ever know if justice was served. There is never anything in the news about that. Like the four ladies that assaulted another in a restaurant parking lot or the guy who crashed into the parked car of a Filipino family last year. Were these people ever brought to justice?
Isn’t part of punishing a criminal to deter others from doing it and for people to have faith in the justice system (keeping some from taking matters into their own hands)? The only crime I see published in papers are the caught drug smugglers complete with pictures with their eyes censored.
Whatever happened to that guy who beat up some nurses or doctors inside Hamad Hospital? Everyone pretended to believe that this would be a tipping point and justice would be served, but was he ever arrested/charged/convicted/punished?
I bet the longer we ponder these situations, the more examples we will find – the beaten maids, that Indian guy who was assaulted by the female driver because she didn’t like his driving etc.
Does Doha News know if any of those cases ever went to court?
For those who don’t recall:
“Last month, an Indian doctor at Hamad Hospital was attacked by a patient’s relatives, putting him in the ICU with five cracked ribs.
Frightened and incensed, Hamad’s Emergency Room staff say something must be done about the growing intimidation and disrespect they face, particularly from patients and visitors who are young, male and Qatari.”
https://dohanews.co/attack-on-hmc-doctor-raises-tough-questions-about-race/
Perhaps that’s what they are taught to do. Just wondering what abuse and ill treatment the other helpless workers locked up in their employers homes like birds in a cage must be facing and with authorities looking the other way
We were told to complain if something like that happens again and that was it , If only you could see how physicians and all healthcare members live in fear when the injured/sick person is a Q and from a known family, their families storm the room and never let you do your job properly. There was a time the patient family took him straight to Operating theatre without even his physician knowing and then called the physician and demanded he goes there.But guess what nobody would ever know what really happens because we are not allowed to say a word.
Your comment assumes there is an actual justice system.
Yours assumes there isn’t one.
Show me. Pick a high profile case, just one, where there is a National and real justice is doled out. It was even up in the air as to if the two men that murdered the teacher would be convicted. What of the Qatari that drove into the back of that Filipino family? What happened to him? Nothing, and those that complained likely removed from the country. There is a saying that justice is blind. Meaning it knows no political affiliation, class structure, nationality, or other attribute, where all men (and women) are equal in the eyes of the law. The fact is, that in Qatar, that is simply not the truth. People are treated differently based on all matter of things from religion to nationality. So yes, I presume that there is not a real system of justice. You may disagree, but to me, everyone is human and should be protected by the law, not set to live in fear of it based on their nationality.
What about the victim of this attack is he OK? Was he knocked out?
Is there an update on whether the assailant was arrested or charged? That might settle a few of the below arguments about whether Qataris are given preferential treatment in criminal investigations.
Dear expat, even if this action was done by a Qatari male, it doesn’t give you the right to generalize and say alll qataris are violent or careless..etc if you are still convinced it’s a true assumption then please note that THIS IS WHO WE ARE AND WE LIKE IT! WE ARE FREE TO DO WHATEVER WE WANT TO DO IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT THEN PLEASE LEAVE!! LEAVE OUR COUNTRY AND SAVE US SOME AIR. Thank you.
Deleting for shouting.
Am I seriously the only one worried about what happened to the poor guy ? Was he hospitalized ? Alive ? paralyzed ??????????????
Am i seriously the only one wondering if that guy okay ? Hospitalized ? Paralyzed ? Dead ?????????
I agree that assuming a person in a thobe, behaving like that must be qatari, is definitely wrong. It could be anyone. Lots of arabs of other nationalities dress like that.
And i can only imagine how annoying it is for every honorable qatari person to hear and face all this “they’re above the law” “they’re mean and treat everyone bad” stuff all the time. Judging a whole nation like that is stupid. And i personally are usually treated with respect.
On the other hand, there is proven incidents and also a lot of stories which also don’t just grow out of nothing. And the point that in most criminal cases with qatari people involved, you really don’t hear anything anymore after a while is indeed concerning. The authorities should take more care of that and let people see the changes they wanted to make and are hopefully making so the impression that the whole society is practically ran by so called wasta as the main currency, is not fed every day and people start to trust that everyone is treated the same according to the law.
Thank you.
Lots of irrelevant comments about nationality – a thug is a thug no matter what his origin – but in my totally inexpert opinion he has neither the bearing nor the thobe of a Qatari. But I do agree with the comment about the lack of any follow-up by DN on such incidents. Justice doesn’t just have to be done – it has to be seen to be done in order to demonstrate to the people that the justice system is actually functioning – and as the prime media outlet for many thousands of English speakers DN bears a lot of responsibility for helping in that process.
this is the third time I am posting this comment, why isn’t it appearing ? :
” How am I the only one to wonder what happened to that poor guy ???? ” anyone can answer if they know ?!
I really pity this beautiful country as the population grows.. This tendency of superiority display and violence on people deemd to be inferior is at an alarming rate. These has to end or the loss might be unbearable in the end.
Sorry guys, but i need to write this in arabic.
يا ريت يطبقون القانون ويحاسب الجاني ويعوض المجني عليه, الناس تترك بلادها وتيجي تشتغل بهالجو واخر شي يجي واحد ما يمثل الا نفسه ويسوي هاللمسخرة. واللي يقهر انه بعض الناس تركت الموضوع وقاعده تتفلسف وتتكلم عن اللي سرب الفيديو… اقول بس انشالله نفس الموقف يصير فيكم وما تلاقون حد يسرب الفيديو
What kind of an idiot does this to another person? Have some self control why don’t you. Truly it’s cliche but this behaviour is for animals.
I’m amazed how DN community focuses on the nationality of the abuser so much. It does not matter what his nationality was, what he did was wrong and should be trialed.
This man is an example of many many locals in Qatar. One day things will be very different in this area of the world. Not even USA will be able to defend dictators and savages that use the dollar to buy security and peace.
