A
Norwegian human rights group says two of its British employees have gone
missing in Qatar while researching migrant worker issues in the Gulf nation
that is due to host the 2022 World Cup, AP reports.
The
Global Network for Rights and Development said Thursday that researcher Krishna
Upadhyaya and photographer Ghimire Gundev were supposed to leave Qatar on
Sunday, and that their fate is unknown.
The
group earlier said the pair arrived in the Qatari capital of Doha on August 27
and disappeared after allegedly being harassed by police.
A
British Embassy official speaking on condition of anonymity in line with
government policy said the mission is aware of reports that two British
nationals have been detained and is investigating the matter.
Qatari
officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
