Qatar Whistleblower Arrested in Jordan Before Testifying in U.S. Human Trafficking Case

Qatar Whistleblower Arrested in Jordan Before Testifying in U.S. Human Trafficking Case

Abdullah Ibhais, a Jordanian national and former whistleblower on workers' rights in Qatar, has been arrested in Jordan just two weeks before he was scheduled to testify in a U.S. District Court case. The case involves allegations of forced labor and human trafficking linked to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Ibhais, who previously served a three-year sentence in Doha, claims his arrest is part of a broader effort to silence his advocacy. His family reports that he was detained by Jordanian General Intelligence Directorate officers without an arrest warrant and has been denied legal counsel. Ibhais was due to provide a voluntary deposition in the U.S. on August 20, having received a visa from the U.S. Embassy in Amman. His arrest has raised concerns about the influence of Qatari authorities on Jordanian law enforcement.
