British-Mexican Gay Man Sentenced in Qatar After Alleged Entrapment

Manuel Guerrero Aviña, a British-Mexican man, was arrested in Qatar in a suspected "honeytrap operation" on Grindr and sentenced to a six-month suspended sentence with deportation for drug possession. His family claims drugs were planted by police due to his sexuality, and human rights groups have condemned the trial as unjust. Guerrero Aviña, who is HIV positive, faces a travel ban and is unable to access necessary medication. Qatari officials deny targeting him for his sexual orientation, insisting the arrest was solely for drug offences.
