ILQ’s going to do what it did last year. On the 14th of February we’ll be sitting proud near the center of the corniche (by Orry) and giving the first 100 people we see a rose!

It’s valentine’s day and it’s time to feel loved! So if you want to come and get your rose, or even want to pick up a rose to give your special someone (yes yes we’ll help you with a small Valentines gift), come on over at 4PM!

Qatar’s definately a place where people love to share their hearts, last year many stores pulled out all the stops. See here.

Even Krispy Kreme is getting in on the deal with their heart shaped donuts!! So why don’t you think of a way to spread a bit of love!!

Freedom of Expression

    Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which the Qatari Government is a signatory of states: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any medias and regardless of any frontiers.

    The Emiri Decision Number 86 of the year 2007 on the establishment of the Doha Free Information Centre marked yet another step towards establishing a State of rights and freedom of speech. The decision stipulated that the Centre be a non-profit organization, headquartered in Doha City, and have the authority to establish other affiliated centres inside and outside Qatar. It is worth mentioning that His Highness the Emir issued a decision in 1998 annulling the ministry of information, giving birth to a new era of freedom of speech where censorship was removed from local media.
