Members of Qatar's LGBTQ+ community were being detained and physically abused by the country's security services as recently as last month, according to a Human Rights Watch report.

Qatar's treatment of the community is in the spotlight as it prepares to host the men's World Cup, which kicks off on November 20.

Same-sex relationships are criminalised in Qatar, and HRW alleges officers belonging to the Qatar Preventive Security Department have arbitrarily arrested members of the LGBTQ+ community and subjected them to ill treatment in detention.

The Qatari government rejects the content of the HRW report, stating that the allegations within it are "categorically and unequivocally false".

Meanwhile, Shakhtar Donetsk CEO Sergei Palkin has called for Iran to be kicked out of the World Cup and replaced by Ukraine, due to the country selling weapons to the Russian Government.
