    Just spotted this on Reddit, quite outrageous really. They had all their documents and evidence destroyed:

    "[We were] arrested during a shooting with workers in the Qatari capital, Doha, then interrogated by the State Security … and only released after 14 hours. The WDR employees were not allowed to leave Qatar for five days. The camera equipment, laptops and personal mobile phones were confiscated and … returned only with a four-week delay. All data has been deleted and damaged pieces of equipment,” WDR’s team wrote.
