actually it is allowed for some duties and professions.

specially if the project is critical or something is urgent.

and even if it is not, calling the police may help you not to work on 18 Dec 2014, but sure will cause more problems for you after that since your manager will slap you back !

As per Qatar labor law it is allowed to work on public holidays including national days if you are a shift worker or support emergency (like medics, public transport etc). However company should compensate by paying overtime / compensation off on another working day. However if you do not belong to above categories you are not obliged to work on National Day.

Strictly not allowed. If he is still forcing, call 999 from your office phone and report to police about your manager. please tell the name of your company.
