Summary
The World Cup in Qatar put the country’s record on human rights and laws on homosexuality into the international spotlight. <br /><br />Same sex-relations are banned under Islamic law. Qatari law calls for a prison sentence of one to three years for "inducing or seducing a male or a female in any way to commit illegal or immoral actions". <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, Sally Lockwood is joined by Dr Nasser Mohamed, who is gay and Qatari and now lives in the US. He says LGBT+ Qataris feel "removed" from the conversation about Qatar's hosting of the football World Cup.<br /><br />Producer: Soila Apparicio <br />Interviews Producer: Alys Bowen <br />Promotions Producer: David Chipakupaku <br />Editors: Paul Stanworth and Philly Beaumont
