The rights organization called on Qatari ruler Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani not to pass the draft legislation, arguing that the proposed law is in contradiction with Qatar #39;s claims to be a center for free expression in the region. The draft law was approved by the Shura Council (Qatar #39;s legislative assembly) in June 2012 and still needs to be ratified by Sheikh Hamad. The draft, however, is the first change to the state #39;s media laws since Al Thani established the Doha Center for Media Freedom in 2008. Press TV has conducted an interview with Alfred Lambremont Webre, human rights   war crimes lawyer, to further discuss the issue.
