Qatar’s series of attacks against Australians: Radha Stirling discusses Lukman Thalib and Ismail Talib arrests. Radha Stirling, founder of Detained in Doha, an organisation who assists those who face injustice in Qatar, issued a statement on the detention of Australian nationals who have been held without charge since July. Stirling, who founded Detained in Dubai in 2008 and the Gulf in Justice Podcast, also represents another Australian, Joseph Sarlak, who has been held in the country. In the Gulf in Justice Podcast, Stirling discusses the cases of Lukman Thalib, Ismail Talib, Joseph Sarlak, Jonathan Nash, Ranald Crook, the assault of passengers onboard the flight to Sydney, women's rights, Princess Laitfa and Conor Howard. Stirling calls on Marise Payne, the Australian Foreign Minister and the Ambassador to build a path forward with Qatar, to pave the way for better relations, to ensure that human rights violations and judicial abuses, don’t ruin what could be a productive alliance. Qatar continues to commit grave human rights violations against Australians, and our government needs to ensure they know we will not tolerate it. In the interim, every effort must be made to warn Australians of the risks of transiting through the country”. Stirling is a Criminal & Civil Justice Specialist, Expert Witness, Speaker, Founder of Due Process International, Detained in Dubai, IPEX Reform, Gulf Investment Monitor and the Gulf in Justice Podcast. Veteran Middle East justice expert Radha Stirling launched her podcast Gulf in Justice in August 2020.
