Some interesting figures here (weekly aggregation for easier perspective)
463 Civil Suits per week
91 Criminal suits per week
161 Lower Court hearings per week
450 Court for Dud Cheques (Lol there is a court for dud cheques) hearings per week
59 Traffic Court Cases per week (I thought this would be higher)
19 cases per week for The Court on Environmental Issues. 17 of those each week were disposed of. (What does "disposed of" mean... thrown out?)
The Court for Criminal Investigation and Follow-up which deals with violations of immigration and visa regulations by expatriates heard 7,514 (144 per week) cases and disposed of 7,456 (143 per week). Ahhh... so "Disposed Of" most certainly does not mean thrown out ;)
143 family related cases including inheritance and minors per week.
Of course NOT..
Alhamdulillah!
did someone stab you here ingen?
I know you didn't mention.. but i am talking about stabbing... that no one stabbed me back in my country!
nah i never mentioned abt ur own country it happens somewhere guess
Aslam Bhai, No one stabbed me in my own country in last 20 years also, was living the same life as here.. But crime rate is high there according to the reports, sectarian wars are going on, politicians are ar*eholes, AlQaida was present, Once a week there is a drone attack!! :-/
still safe ppl dont stab u for ur wallet or Atm cards :P
MarcoNandoz, Mean if daily more than 200 crime cases are registered in a country then that will be more safer than Qatar? Well just asking!!
ingeniero : "crime statistics often tend to reflect the productivity and law enforcement activities of the officers concerned and may bear little relationship to the actual amount of crime"
The more such reports are being reported the safer the country is.
Obviously now I will take much care...
Don't believe everything you hear, ingeniero.
91 criminals suits per week, and I was told Qatar is the most safe country on the planet!
I've worked for 23 yrs with criminals, believe me they are not all horrible people, sometimes it's there but for the grace of god. Circumstances at times makes us behave irrationally . And am not a do gooder just a realist,
Crimes that are almost always hidden which is the reason why I'm surprised yesterday when my friend told me about him being called for a hearing because one of his close friends was murdered and yes, it happened here. o_O
joke :/
Really?
I second LP
Crimes in Qatar? Imposssible.
I'm surprised they didn't handle more. "Justice" is very easy in Qatar:
Qatari--not guilty ever
Western expat--not guilty or suspended sentence (following his free departure from the country)
Non-western expat--guilty
Do you know any honest advocates contact number? For a WLL company issue.
when converting to working hours, some figures its look like impossible to obtain.
Thank u , but a lil change in u and she might u never know :)
And on that point I will agree with you
