Doha: Ministry of Interior has referred a “number of people” to the Public Prosecution for stirring up tribal strife on social media among members of the same community and for frequent use of racist language.

On a statement posted on Twitter, Ministry of Interior affirmed that “it will not be complacent in taking all legal measures against anyone who uses racist discourse against the unity and cohesion of the Qatari society, threatening its security, stability and social peace.”

The Ministry of Interior called on users of social media platforms in the State of Qatar “to abide by the laws, and not to offend anyone within society on tribal or racial grounds, on the basis that the cohesion and stability of the Qatari society is a responsibility of everyone.”
