Qatari opposition to launch its 2nd conference: Hail

CAIRO – 17 October 2017: The Qatari opposition is organizing its second consecutive conference, according to leading opposition figure Khaled al-Hail.

Hail, an exiled Qatari opposition figure, organized the first Qatari opposition conference in London last month in which he accused the ruling family of corruption, especially regarding the millions of dollars that Qatar was splurged on the World Cup venues.

Hail did not mention an exact time or place for the upcoming conference,

According to "Qatar leaks" Hail added that Qatari regime was expected to have the assets of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani frozen, as it is the regime’s primary weapon against dissent.

Qatari authorities stormed on Thursday Sheikh Sultan bin Suhaim Al Thani’s palace in Doha, a step taken after authorities froze the bank accounts of the young Sheikh.

Doha has faced a severe rebuke since June 5 when the Arab quartet comprised of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates severed diplomatic ties with the emirate on accusations of sponsoring and harboring terrorism, which Doha consistently denies.
