1. What the Embassy can and cannot do
Introduction
Being arrested and put on trial in a foreign country can be a bewildering and even
terrifying experience, especially if you don’t understand the language and don’t know
your rights within the law. This guide will help you understand the criminal justice
system of Doha, and what support is available to you as a British national. You can
also read about how to apply for an appeal and a Presidential Pardon.
About the Embassy
We are impartial; we are not there to judge you. We aim to make sure that you are
treated properly and fairly in accordance with Qatari regulations and that you are treated
no less favourably than other prisoners. We cannot get you better treatment than other
prisoners.
We can answer questions about your welfare and about prison regulations but not
questions about legal matters. You should ask your lawyer or the court about legal
matters. We can give you a list of English-speaking lawyers but neither Her Majesty’s
Government, nor any official of the British Embassy, take any responsibility for the
competence or probity of any firm/advocate on the list or for the consequences of any
legal action initiated or advice given.
We cannot get you out of prison, pay fines, stand bail or interfere in local judicial
procedures to get you out of prison or secure you an earlier trial date. We cannot
investigate a crime or the circumstances of your arrest.
We have tried to make sure that this information is accurate and up to date, but the
Embassy cannot accept legal responsibility for any errors or omissions in the
information.

Sunday – Thursday 08:00 a.m. – 15:30 p.m.
Who will know that I have been detained?
As soon as a British citizen is arrested and detained in Qatar, the Qatari authorities
should let the detainee contact the British Embassy within 24 - 48 hours. However, this
may not happen. It is essential that you inform the British Embassy as soon as possible
after your arrest. It is your right to do so. We may be informed much more quickly by
friends or relations. As soon as we are informed, we will do all we properly can to
contact you and will try to visit you within 48 hours of being told that you have been
detained. However, if you are transferred from a police station to the Central Jail before
we are informed of your arrest we will only be able to visit you on the following Monday
(Embassies’ visiting day).
What will my family be told?
For reasons of confidentiality we are not permitted to tell anyone that you have been
detained or what the charges are without your permission. The Embassy must have
your permission to discuss your case, or to confirm your detention with anyone.
What will the Embassy do?
We will try and contact you by telephone or in person within 24 hours.
As soon as we have been notified of the arrest we will try and ask the authorities for
permission to visit you, either at the police station or at the prison, and we will try to visit
you within 48 hours of receiving permission. If you are not sentenced we must obtain an
official permission from the Public Prosecution first before visiting you.
The Consular Officer can:
- Provide a list of local English -speaking lawyers.
- Contact friends and family for you, if you want; and notify your next of kin of your
arrest.
- Send any message to your next of kin.
- In case they wish to transfer any money to you, we can tell your next-of-kin how to
transfer money to you, without bank charges, through the Foreign & Commonwealth
Office in London.
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docThe Consular Officer cannot:
- Get you out of prison, prevent the local authorities from deporting you after your
prison sentence or interfere in criminal or civil court proceedings;
- Give you legal advice, investigate crimes or carry out searches for missing people,
although we can give you details of people who may be able to help you in these
cases, such as English-speaking lawyers;
- Help you enter a country, for example, if you do not have a visa or your passport is
not valid, as we cannot interfere in another country’s immigration policy or
procedures;
- Get you better treatment in hospital or prison than is given to local people;
- Pay your bail or lawyer nor guarantee to the court that you will pay them;
- Pay any bills or give you money;
If you have dual nationality and are imprisoned in the country of your other nationality
the British Consul cannot assist you formally, under international law. However,
Consular staff will provide whatever informal assistance the local authorities will allow.
Your relatives and friends can contact the above address for advice from the Foreign &
Commonwealth Office in London.
2. The Criminal Justice System of Qatar
Is the system the same as in United Kingdom?
No, it is not the same as in the United Kingdom. Qatar’s Civil Law system is based on
the principles of Latin Law. All criminal cases are dealt with by the Civil Law system.
What might happen when I am arrested?
After a person is arrested the police have the power to detain him / her for up to 24
hours. The case is then referred to the Public Prosecutor. The offices of the Public
Prosecutor are open 7 days a week. If the investigations are not completed in that time,
the police can request that the suspect remains in custody. In serious or complicated
cases this would almost always be granted. The process for applying for an extension
is as follows; after the first 24 hours a request for a 4 day extension can be applied for;
the next request would also be for 4 days; the third request can be for an extension of
up to 8 days; subsequent requests would be for extensions of 30 days. The total pretrial
detention period will not exceed 6 months. After this time the case must be referred to
the courts. The Public Prosecutor may also release suspects on bail, with or without
conditions, while the investigation is ongoing. It is not standard practice for passports to
be retained but a travel ban may be put in place until the investigations are concluded.
The accused is entitled to legal representation throughout the process. There are no
provisions for state-funded legal counsel. The investigation will be conducted in Arabic.
An interpreter should be provided to assist in the investigation involving a non-Arabic
speaker.
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docThe courts in Qatar
If the Public Prosecutor decides to send the case to court a date will be set for the first
hearing. There is no time limit within which the case must be heard. A judge will then
consider the case. It may take longer for a decision to be made in serious or
complicated cases. Between July and September only a limited number of cases will be
considered due to the extended summer break.
There are three levels of criminal court. The Primary Court handles all cases initially and
passes judgement. An appeal can be made to the Appeal Court within 15 days, if they
are present in court. If they are not present, appeals can be made within 15 days of the
publication of the judgement. In certain cases a further appeal can be made to the
Supreme Court within 60 days of the official notification of the Appeal Court judgement.
The Supreme Court also handles cases relating to state security, eg arms smuggling .
Occasionally, and usually only in minor cases, the case may be dropped if both parties
make a statement. However, this can only be done before the case reaches the Public
Prosecutor. Once it has reached the Public Prosecutor, the case can only be dropped
with the authority of the Public Prosecutor General. Once the papers are passed to the
court the case cannot be settled out of court.
In employer/employee disputes the Arbitration Section of the Ministry of Labour will look
at the case first and try to assist both parties to reach a compromise. If no compromise
is reached the case will be referred to the Labour Court.
3. Legal Representation
In most cases it is advisable to have legal representation. Legal fees are high; they
vary in accordance with the case and the lawyer’s experience. Lawyers usually require
an advance payment before accepting a case. In cases involving money the lawyer
may ask for a percentage of the final settlement if the case is successful. Lawyers will
usually submit a written defence statement for the judge to consider. Lawyers can
discuss cases with the Public Prosecutor before they reach court.
Consular staff cannot give legal advice, but they can provide you with a list of lawyers
who speak English.
4. Release and Deportation
If a sentence of imprisonment followed by deportation is passed the prisoner will be
deported back to their home country once the prison sentence has been served. This is
known as judicial deportation. A prisoner must finance his own deportation and is kept
in prison until someone pays for an air ticket. If nobody can pay for the air ticket, the
prisoner will remain in prison while the Qatar Government arranges the deportation at
its own expense. This may take a very long time.
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docEven if the court did not order deportation your case may be referred to the Diwan’s
office after your sentence has been completed. The Diwan’s office will then consider
whether or not to “administratively” deport someone. Again, the prisoner will be
responsible for paying the cost of the air fare.
If you are to be deported you should arrange for an air ticket to be given to the prison
authorities a couple of days before your release. On the day of your flight (provided that
is the day of your release date) you will be collected from your cell and given your
valuables and passport. You will then be taken to the airport police station prison and
put in the custody of the Immigration Police. The Immigration Police will escort you to
the aeroplane.
5. The Emiri Pardon
Emiri Pardons are granted by H.H the Emir and your plea should be addressed to him.
Your written plea should be given to one of the British Embassy representatives. The
Embassy will forward it directly to the Emiri Diwan with a covering letter.
Decisions on Emiri Pardons are taken case by case. There are no hard and fast rules
for success and few are granted. We have listed below some ideas on how you can
make the best of your application.
It will be helpful if you submit your application with supporting letters. The most
important will be from family members. Others should be from friends, plus perhaps
another letter from a professional person who will support your case, e.g. your MP or
MEP or a lawyer. If appropriate you may also request support from Prisoners Abroad.
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docWhat should I say?
The actual content of your letter of application and the supporting ones will depend
upon the circumstances of your case. However, you must make clear that you:
understand the seriousness of your offence
repent your past conduct
long for reunion with your family, homeland and culture
wish to lead a socially useful life in future
will never do wrong again
Priority may be given if there are strong medical grounds for an early release, but you
must never criticise prison conditions, even if they are making your health worse.
Equally, you must avoid any criticism of the Qatar judicial system and never claim
innocence (even if you believe yourself to be innocent) as that implies fault with the
system that convicted you.
When should I apply?
It is best to send requests one to two months before an important Islamic Muslim
holiday. Two of the most important holidays are the end of Ramadan (Aïd el-Fitrr) and
Aïd El Adha. You can also send your application to the Presidential Court through
prison channels.
6. Prison Conditions
The main prison in Doha is Doha Central Prison. If you are remanded in custody while
the public prosecutor makes further investigations into your case or are given a jail
sentence it is highly likely that you will serve this time in Doha Central Prison.
If you are transported from the police station to the courts or to Doha Central Prison you
will be shackled in handcuffs and leg chains. If you leave Doha Central Prison for any
reason, such as a court visit, hospital visit etc you will also be transported in shackles.
This method is also used when, if sentenced to deportation, you are taken to the airport
to leave the country.
Upon arrival at Doha Central Prison you will subjected to an intimate body search and
your head will be shaved (females do not have their heads shaved). All of your
possessions will be taken away and stored securely. However, if you wish you can
arrange for someone to collect them on your behalf at a later date. You will be issued
with a uniform. All other items of clothing, such as flip flops, T-shirts etc will need to be
purchased from the weekly canteen (see below).
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docMail

Doha
State of Qatar
There are no restrictions on the amount but there are rules about what you can and
can’t receive. All letters are censored. Magazines, books and newspapers are
permitted, though they will be looked at and may be censored. This procedure means
that it may be a couple of weeks before they are actually given to you. Nude pictures
are strictly forbidden.
Letters out
Prisoners are allowed to receive letters and to send letters out of the prison.
Telephone Calls
Detainees are allowed between 2 to 3 outgoing calls a week as a privilege, telephone
cards can be purchased in the prison. Families can call in to speak to the detainees.

Medical and Dental treatment is provided free of charge, any patient with ongoing
medical problems will be provided with the necessary treatment either in the prison or if
required they will be transferred to a hospital.

Canteen/shop
Detainees can buy food and other personal supplies from the Canteen/Shop which is
located in the prison. They are able to order food for delivery once a week.
Library
The prison has a large library which is fully accessible by all detainees. There are study
facilities and limited access to the internet. Books can be ordered if there is something
specific they want, there are books in various languages
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docGym
Detainees have access to exercise every day, outdoors and indoors.
Access to the prison gym will only be granted by the prison doctor.
Educational establishment
Study facilities are available in the library. Access to distance learning is available with
the option of obtaining a qualification.
7. Visits
Conjugal Visits
Conjugal visits are allowed once a week if married.
Consular Visits
Consular staff from the Embassy in Doha will keep in regular contact with prisoners,
either by visiting personally or by telephone. The frequency of visits will depend on local
conditions and the individual prisoner’s circumstances.
Visits by family or friends
Prison regulations state that only family members can visit inmates in the prison.
However, the public prosecutor may issue a visit order to a non-family member; this
permission can be obtained from the public prosecutor’s office in Qatar Courts. This
permission is a must for both family members and non-family members if you are not
sentenced.
Visiting times and days are quite specific and you or your family will need to find out this
information.
8. Other Sources of Help whilst you are in Prison
Prisoners Abroad
For more than thirty years the charity Prisoners Abroad (PA) has offered practical
support and advice to Britons imprisoned overseas. It is the only UK charity providing
this service and it is available to all, whether guilty or innocent, convicted or not. PA is
concerned with your health and welfare, both during your imprisonment and also on
your return to the UK, through their resettlement service (if you have registered whilst in
Updated April 2014
S:\Consular\Prisoners\Prisoner Pack\Prisoner Information Pack\Prisoner Pack BE Doha 2014.docprison). They can also provide support and advice to your family during your
imprisonment, if you wish.
Once you seek help from PA, the Prisoner & Family Support Service will be your point
of contact for advice and information. The type of assistance PA can offer will vary from
country to country, but generally they can provide you with information and advice, in
English on:
The criminal justice system of the country
Prison conditions and your rights as a prisoner
Obtaining magazines, newspapers, books
Finding a penpal
The language of your country of imprisonment

After your release
Possibly you have never lived in Britain and have no ties there, or perhaps you have
lost touch with friends and family. You may simply want to talk to another person who
understands what you have been through, to help work out what to do next.
When you first arrive back in Britain you can visit Prisoners Abroad (see address above)
on weekdays between 10 am and 4 pm for advice, to take a shower, use the temporary
luggage store, make essential phone calls or use a computer. If you have no
belongings Prisoners Abroad may be able to help with basic toiletries and finding
suitable clothing. If you know your release date in advance it is best to write and tell
your caseworker when you are likely to arrive and what help you think you might need.
If you have no money and nowhere to go, PA’s Resettlement Service can help with –
Advice on finding emergency accommodation in the London area
Claiming welfare benefits, including emergency benefit payments if you are
destitute
Making appointments with doctors and dentists
Updated April 2014
