Qatar to allow 20,000 Palestinians to work there

Ma'an reports:

Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Ibn Hamad Al Thani has given orders to grant work visas to 20,000 Palestinians, the Palestinian ambassador to Qatar told Ma'an on Monday.

The move comes after 20 years in which Palestinians were prevented by Qatari authorities from acquiring visas to work in the prosperous Persian Gulf emirate, according to the ambassador.
You mean, for 20 years Qatar actively discriminated against Palestinians and no human rights organization mentioned it?
