While Qatar, which has outlawed homosexuality, has been criticized by the international community for its human rights abuses, it is reported that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will allow peaceful protests by LGBT people as well as kissing in public.
Bloomberg reported on the 2nd (Korean time) that this was included in the latest announcement of the Qatar World Cup 2022 Organizing Committee, which contains guidelines for responding to crowds by local police in Qatar.
In the document, the organizing committee recommends that security officials, including police, approach and detain, prosecute, or march towards a person holding a rainbow flag, a symbol of sexual minority worldwide, not to interfere with fans shouting slogans.
It also recommends leaving the protesters alone unless they cause 'security issues'.
The basic position of the organizing committee, as revealed in the data, is that security officials such as the police should intervene little and do more with respect to civilians visiting Qatar.
As long as the behavior is not harmful to the body or property, the police should be lenient.
However, it is unclear whether the Qatari government will accept this recommendation. In Qatar, homosexuality is a crime. Sexual acts such as kissing in public are also prohibited.
Human rights activists, a number of athletes, and foreign government officials have raised their voices of criticism saying that Qatar oppresses the rights of LGBT people and women.
On the 25th of last month, British human rights activist Peter Tachel was stopped by the local police during a one-man protest in front of the Qatar National Museum to protest the oppression of LGBTI people.
The Qatari government has said it will welcome visitors of all sexual orientations as long as the general rules of public expression of affection for heterosexual couples are observed.
Bloomberg reported that Qatari government and FIFA spokespersons declined to comment on the announcement by the organizing committee.
"It is important for the Qatar government to temporarily stop punishing or criminalizing the peaceful exercise of human rights, but this should be the beginning of a complete abolition of such 'crimes'," said Rossna Begum, a senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, an international human rights group. . It should be applied to everyone, not just visitors.”
Meanwhile, England, who is notorious for being hooligans (malicious supporters), is heading to the finals of this World Cup, and the British government announced on this day that 15 police officers will be dispatched to Qatar during the tournament.
The dispatched police officers will accompany the fans and act as 'cultural interpreters' between the local law enforcement authorities.
The British police will intervene at an appropriate time, as the European soccer cheering culture of drinking, taking off, waving flags and shouting slogans on and around the soccer field can be misunderstood in Qatar.
