Why does this article not have a section on human rights abuses in Qatar? It is not a secret that women, gays, religious minorities, and immigrant workers are oppressed and persecuted in the country.

Having no section in the article about this is clear censorship and events is the typical lack of transparency in the country itself. 2601:644:4482:E110:D5FA:B75C:29F4:5DA5 (talk) 20:10, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's covered here at Qatar#Human rights as well as in a separate article, Human rights in Qatar. ––FormalDude (talk) 04:28, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This "clever" linking seems very un-Wikipedia:

> The 2022 FIFA World Cup was awarded to Qatar under controversial circumstances

I'd expect the two links not to be adjacent and to be clear that there are two separate topics. I'd make this change myself, but the page is edit-protected. 107.13.75.131 (talk) 20:33, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Concern addressed; it is now a single wiki-link. —Sirdog (talk) 01:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, it is necessary to add about Qatar's violation of human rights, for example (possible death penalty for members of the LGBT community, violation of human rights for foreign workers) and more.

Why the human rights violations is not mentioned.? Qplb191 (talk) 12:37, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a section on human rights, which mention those and a bit more. The treatment of migrant workers could perhaps be more expansive/comprehensive. -Mairi (talk) 18:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
