<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Dear Sirs, <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I would like to advise you that the Doha Debates which was held on Monday 14-12-2009 about Dubai was opened up for everybody but not for the Qatari writer, Hassan Aljefairi. It was not the first time that I was not allowed to speak by Tim Sebastian, but this was happening continuously during the latest sessions, especially when a new management for the Doha Debate was appointed recently.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In the old days I was allowed sometimes to talk until they came to know that I was a Qatari man of values fighting for the rights of my Qatari people. They did not like the way that I was criticizing Arab Governments about lack of democracy and violations of human rights. When they came to know that I was a Qatari activist being a man of principles, then I was not welcome any more.\u00a0 A camera man was filming everybody, but when I requested an interview, he refused. That was the second time he is doing that to me, I therefore want to report this incident. I also want this story to be published so that the British people know about it, as such persons are acting against European values.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0I told Sebastian that a good media man should have values and principles. He can be like Hassan Aljefairi, the voice of people not the voice of rich governments. I told Sebastian that he only represents himself, but not representing Britain, the country of democracy, human rights and freedom of speech. \u00a0After I left the room, some participants told me in the car park, that some media persons cannot get a job in Europe now, that is why they are so desperate to keep their jobs in Qatar by any means.<\/p>\n

Thanking You,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hassan Aljefairi,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qatari Writer,<\/strong><\/p>\n
