Return reported for Qatar’s Al-Murrah


Issue 1078 - 05 Apr 2019 | 1 minute read

A report on the Arabi21 news site in late March said a senior leader of the Al-Murrah tribe had returned to Doha, apparently seeking forgiveness from Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani. Arabi21 – which is widely followed and believed to be Qatari-funded – quoted an unnamed source saying Sheikh Taleb Bin Mohammed Bin Lahom Bin Shuraim (or Sherim) arrived at Doha airport with his family and voluntarily handed himself over to the authorities. Taleb had complained in September 2017 that he and 54 family members had been stripped of their Qatari citizenship after he refused to insult the Saudi leadership.
