DOHA--Qatar’s public prosecution has charged a Kenyan man who has written about migrant rights in the Gulf Arab state with receiving payment to spread disinformation, the government’s communication office (GCO) said on Saturday.
Malcolm Bidali, who had been writing under a pseudonym, was arrested on May 5 for violating Qatar’s security laws, according to a Qatari official. Rights groups have voiced concern that his detention may be in reprisal for human rights work.
