How did Russia and Qatar deal with a British activist promoting LGBT before the World Cup?
In Russia 2019:
He was punched, kicked and arrested.
In Qatar 2022:
He was treated softly and failed to provoke police to arrest him.
The authorities in Qatar dealt with caution with the first-ever pro-gay protest in the country.
A British activist Peter Tatchell organized the protest, where he stood at the National Museum of Qatar for more than an hour with a t-shirt reading #QatarAntiGay.
He carried a placard reading: “Qatar arrests, jails & subjects LGBTs to conversion”, with the hashtag “#QatarAntiGay”.
Two uniformed officers and three plainclothes officials arrived at the scene.
They folded up his placard and went away while Tatchell stood on the sidewalk for a while.
