Dutch Tourist Allegedly Raped in Qatar Convicted of Adultery
13th June 2016
A Dutch tourist has been convicted of adultery in Qatar, three months after reporting to police she had been raped in the country’s capital of Doha.
The 22-year-old woman was immediately detained after reporting the attack in mid-March and was held until her hearing, where she was given a one-year suspended sentence and reportedly fined 3,000 Qatari riyals (£564).
She has since been released to the care of the Dutch Embassy.
Perhaps it might be a good idea to avoid Qatar.
