Regardless of whether you like the place or not, the fact is that the authorities arbitrarily closed the place down, gaoled and deported workers, and seriously damaged a lot of people's livelihoods with no warning, public explanation or discussion. Along with out-of-the-blue threat of eviction to the Doha Players, and lack of notice given to many people evicted from accommodation in Qatar this raises a lot of questions about personal and commercial confidence here.
