A report carried by a local Arabic newspaper yesterday suggesting that a Qatari criminal court has sentenced a Filipino to death and two other Filipinos to jail for life in an espionage case. The verdict has evoked sharp reaction from the community.
All the three Filipinos were working in Qatar. Comments posted by nationals on local social networking sites have called for not giving sensitive posts in Qatar with foreigners.
Details of the case which Arabic daily Al Raya carried on its front page suggested the prime convict, who has been sentenced to death, was working with a major state-owned Qatari company since 1993.
Two other Filipinos working as technicians with the Qatar Air Force were awarded life sentence by the court for helping the main convict by providing him sensitive information for money.
The trio has been charged with providing sensitive information about the state to a country and threatening Qatar’s national security.
Details of the case suggest the main convict was a member of the Philippines security and was working here for a long time.
He was providing information about special projects, investments, staff members, minutes of the meetings of top officials and plans of the company he was working for, to his country.
The main convict got military and related information about Qatar from two of his accomplices. The duo was working only for money. After they were caught, the police sought permission from the Public Prosecution and conducted searches in their office, homes and even cars.
The main convict was working for the Philippine Intelligence and had the rank of a lieutenant.
