The Qatari authorities have also been called upon to withdraw the law which bans HIV-positive foreigners from working in the country.
“This man has done nothing wrong, and is being victimised by the Qatar government just because he is HIV-positive. Al Jazeera, an international broadcaster, could still employ him based in South Africa in the same job, and we call on them to act with decency and compassion,” said ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow.
