Fear rises for imprisoned Qatari royal in the midst of health deterioration as wife pleads for release at the United Nations

Last updated on September 11th, 2021 at 08:24 am

Pressure is mounting over the case of QatariSheikh Talal Al Thani – the grandson of the founder of the gas-rich nation – after his wife, Asma Arian, submitted an 11th-hour plea for his release at the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday.

My husband desires pressing scientific care and a legal professional he chooses freely,” Arian advised the UN body in Geneva by video. “An arbitrary 22-year sentence was once imposed on him whilst he was once in jail. He is incommunicado in detention and suffers from extreme clinical conditions he developed in prison.”

Arian, who is waging a David vs. Goliath struggle towards the super-wealthy Qatari monarchy, informed Fox News that Sheikh Talal is being detained at an unidentified facility and his health is deteriorating “due to torture and ill cure in prison.”

Qatar’s Islamist regime imprisoned the sheikh, whose full identify is Sheikh Talal bin Abdulaziz bin Ahmed bin Ali Al Thani, in 2013 for an allegedly unpaid debt.

We call on Qatar to launch Sheikh Talal and enable him to reunite with his family in Germany,” he continued. “Until his release, he have to have instant access to capacity of conversation with his family, unbiased scientific staff, and a attorney of his personal choosing. His criminal team need to be given get admission to to prison and scientific archives that the Qatari authorities might also have produced at some point of his arbitrary detention.”

After the Special Rapporteur’s rebuke of Qatar’s judiciary, Doha interestingly has not invited a Special Rapporteur back to reexamine its criminal system.

The 2020 Freedom in the World report, issued via Freedom House, determined “Qatar’s hereditary emir holds all executive and legislative authority, and finally controls the judiciary as well.” Freedom House, which is headquartered in Washington, D.C. referred to “Despite constitutional guarantees, the judiciary is no longer independent in practice.”

After Sheikh Talal was once arrested, the Qatari authorities dispatched Arian, who used to be pregnant and had three small teenagers at the time, to an “uninhabitable residence in the desolate tract besides air conditioning, exposed to pests and sewage,” she said.

“My teenagers and I fell significantly unwell there, but we were denied basic scientific care,” she added.

Messages that are believed to be from the Qatari royal family–and reviewed by means of Fox News–threatened Arian if she continues to wage a public campaign for her husband’s freedom.
