violated the laws of Qatar somehow, the government would have immediately issued a statement to that effect?
Nobody would blame them for such action -- although I think one could make a strong argument that even if she HAD violated local laws somehow, the fact that the UN was in the process of moving her to another country should have been taken into consideration and simply been moved along a little more quickly (rather than their forcibly sending her back to the country where she was allegedly raped and abused).
As it stands now, because Qatar won't talk, people are left to speculate, and they fall into two camps: those who earnestly believe that Qatar would never maliciously deport a refugee (so she must have done something to deserve it), and those who interpret Qatar's silence on the matter as indication that they had no valid reason for her expulsion, and see it as additional evidence of the repressive, misogynist attitudes prevalent in this region.
