....Ines_pt, a couple of press articles about what seems to be lenient sentences for hideous crimes do not warrant for a solid base of assumption that the judicial system in Qatar is led by unjust criminals, setting free thugs at large. We have no clue about the details of any of those crimes.

The Diyah (paid for the family of the victim of road accidents) may be a reason why sentences sound unfair. I equally realize there is a flaw in system, and the country is working on it, but it will take longer time.

I'm against many of the unfounded hypotheses made on this thread.
