Qatar slams mention of its name in Egypt court verdict
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned mention of Qatar’s name in the verdict issued yesterday by Cairo Criminal Court in the case known as ‘Qatar espionage’, reports QNA.
Director of The Information Office at the Ministry, Ambassador Ahmed Al Rumaihi said: “Though it isn’t final, the verdict is unfounded, goes against truth and contains misleading claims which are contrary to the policy of the State of Qatar towards all sister countries, including Egypt."
The charge of espionage on Qatar against a former president and media-men is surprising and unacceptable, he said.
He pointed out that such a verdict is not surprising after the death sentences and life terms issued by Egyptian courts in the last two years and abolished by the Egyptian Court of Cassation.
He stressed that such verdicts which lack the sense of justice and which are founded on reasons unrelated to the law, but on other known reasons, do not help in consolidating the fraternal ties between the sister countries.
He said Qatar is in the forefront of countries that sided with Egyptian people since the January 25 revolution. This stance stems from the duty between brotherly Arab peoples, he added.
He said that Qatar has been and will remain committed to the fraternal values and bonds with the brotherly Egyptian people.

After the Villagio and Patterson cases Qatar is complaining about the Egyptian justice system? Ha, ha, ha. Who do they think they are?

If you are in Egypt behave like an Egyptian. And if you don't like it in Egypt, don't go there! (Translated from what we hear from Qataris here all the time).
