James Cleverly Suggests Compromise Amidst Concerns Over Human Rights
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has advised LGBT football fans attending the World Cup in Qatar to be “respectful of the host nation” and “make some compromises,” following growing concerns over human rights issues. This statement comes after activist Peter Tatchell was arrested for staging an LGBT protest in Qatar, drawing attention to the country’s human rights record. Cleverly clarified that he had not yet spoken with the Qatari government regarding Tatchell’s arrest, but his remarks suggest a diplomatic approach to the controversial event.
