The sale of books here in Qatar is still subjected to the Qatari government’s censorship.
Virgin Megastore opened here in Doha with a huge selection of books (in several languages) and not too long after its opening, the Qatari government ordered the removal of the great majority (aprox. 90%) of their stock, leaving only tourist guides and a very few uninteresting ones.
This is still the sad reality here in Qatar, kept secret from the public and from foreign media (the local media are too scared to report facts)!
This is the sad reality of a country that will host the World Cup!
