A Palestinian student has been fined QR1,000 for “disturbing” a woman by sending unsolicited SMS to her on November 18 last year.
The woman, a 31-year old Qatari, told the authorities that she received many SMS from the suspect’s mobile phone on that day.
The plaintiff said: “I called the number to see who the sender was and I discovered that it was a man. He sent an SMS apologising for his conduct and promised that he would not send SMS to my number again.”
The accused, 18, told the interrogators that he intended to send the message to another number but he dialled the plaintiff’s number by mistake. However, the court found that it was a disturbance and fined the accused QR1,000.

to me occasionally. What I did was to call back the caller and told him (of course he was a male), "I don't know you and if you don't have any business with me then you better stop calling or I will report your number to the police." And somehow it worked. What's worst, they don't speak english well & all I could understand was this: "hello, filipini, me friend".
