Qatar: IFJ warns journalists over restrictions and surveillance risks ahead of the World Cup
A DanishTV2 team was prevented from filming in a public space in Doha, Qatar’s capital, on 15 November. Security officials tried to cover the camera and interrupted the live broadcast, in what constitutes one of the first infringements on media freedom against international journalists accredited to report on the upcoming World Cup. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has published a 7-point safety advisory for journalists and media workers covering the World Cup.
