Dozens protest in Spain against Qatar’s support of terrorism

CAIRO – 3 September 2017: Dozens of protesters gathered in Barcelona on Sunday denouncing Qatar’s support of terrorism. Thirteen people were killed and more than 130 injured after a white Fiat van ploughed along Las Ramblas in the Catalan capital on August 17.

The protesters chanted against Doha rulers, holding them accountable for the Catalonian terror attack. They accused Doha of killing dozens of innocent people in Spain and France through funding terrorist groups and extremists and providing them with logistic support.

Since June 5, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have turned against Qatar with a complete air and trade boycott over allegations of its support and sponsorship of terrorism, which Doha denies.

Following the Arab boycott of Doha, a list of 13-demands was handed over to Doha’s government by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain for reconciliation, which includes the closing of Al-Jazeera broadcasting and the suspension of its relationship with the extremist government of Iran.

Since then, Qatar has resisted conciliation attempts and has not shown any efforts of disassociating itself from the terrorist groups that the quartet claim are harbored and financially supported by Doha.
