The 24 year old Al-Maadeed left the UK for her home country Qatar after local authorities promised to provide her with the necessary protection and respect for her human rights upon her return. However, she disappeared in March 2023 and it's unclear whether she is alive, Khalud Ibrahim, executive director of the Gulf Center for Human Rights (GCHR), says.

Qatar? The sole owners of the Islamic Jihadi mouthpiece "news organization", Al Jazeera, that Qatar? You don't say.

Eh? They certainly don't have a pro-west angle but it's a bit disingenuous to call them the mouthpiece of jihadists. That's the same ignorant BS spouted by Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly lol.

Qatar? The country that became super duper democratized, feminist and queer friendly after the World Cup, just as promised? I am shocked

Yeah, that Qatar which, in the words of Eva Kaili, "already achieved the impossible."
