Articles and Pictures

desertrosemrk, Thanks you so much for posting the news articles and pics. That is so nice for Sheikha that so many of her family and friends traveled to show their support at her graduation from Duke U.

I especially like the one of the Emir and his daughter.

State attorney appeals against verdict for Qatari Prince - press

PRAGUE- The state attorney's office has appealed against the verdict for a member of the Qatari royal family, Prince Hamid bin Abdal Sani, who was recently sentenced to two and a half years in prison for sex with 16 underage and juvenile girls, the daily Pravo writes today.


"We are convinced that the penalty is too lenient," the paper was told by state attorney Kamil Svec, adding that he would demand roughly five years in prison.

Prince Hamid bin Abdal Sani, too, appealed the verdict on the spot and the case will now be dealt with by the Prague City Court, whose panel is to have the proceedings in the summer.

The Qatari authorities have tried in vain to take over Sani's prosecution.

At the beginning of the case, Justice Minister Pavel Nemec decided to pass the case to Qatar, but the court did not accept his decision and called it unlawful. Now Nemec's steps are being checked by the police.

Al-Sani is still in prison. On Friday, he was visited there by his distant relative, Qatari Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jasim bin Jabir Al Thani, who was on a private visit to the Czech Republic and also spoke with his Czech counterpart Cyril Svoboda.

Just finished watching a fascinating interview of the Emir with Charlie Rose.

He spoke about women, education and Qatar, etc. It was Wonderful!


Did they interview Shiekha Mozah also? :confused:

No, Shiekha Mozah was not interviewed; however, they did speak of her. They talked about her commitment to education and that because of her efforts there were many US educational university campus in Qatar. They also spoke about increasing numbers of women studying for degrees in non traditional professions. The Emir was obviously very proud of Sheikha Mozah, you could see it in his eyes when he spoke of her.

In a few days the transcript of the interview should be posted on the site.

I have never known the Emir to speak badly about women. His wife Sheikha Mozah has been involved in women's issues for a very long time and has represented him many times where she was the only female in the delegation. His daughters have gone to university for higher education abroad and he talks lovingly of his mother. His position about an active role for women in Qatar society is without question strongly in their favor.

If an allegation to the contrary was for the purpose of spreading misinformation it will serve as an opportunity to dispel the myth.

Hello All!

Sorry if this isn't the place to post this message.

I've been lurking in the shadows for weeks now, reading the board and now have decided to say hi! Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I'm kind of message boards shy. Although, I'm not shy at all at home. :)

I kind of discovered Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al Thani (former Crown Prince-Heir Apparent & son of Qatar's Emir) last year. Wow! He is gorgeous and from all I read about him, he's very meek and kind.

I'm not surprise that he's dear to his people. He seems to be a very dedicated person.

I just wish I knew about him years ago when he was CP, because now I can hardly find anything about him online, and unfortunately, I cannot read Arabic, so when I go visit the sites which are all in Arabic, I'm confused and frustrated. :-(

Anyway, I want to THANK everyone for sharing news, info, articles and pictures. My sister and I really enjoy them. Especially the pics of Jassim! :)
