Since March 2013, after ten consecutive years without executions, Qatar can be considered a de facto abolitionist country.
Murder, offences against the State, drug offences and terrorism are capital crimes. Under Article 283, Section 11, of the Criminal Code, sexual abuse of a man carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in jail. However, if the victim is a relative the crime falls under Article 279 punishable by death.
Along with the Civil and Penal Codes, Sharia law is in force in Qatar, although only applicable to Muslims. The offence of Zina makes any sexual act by a married person outside of marriage punishable by death, while sexual acts by non-married persons are punishable by flogging.
Non-Muslims may not proselytize, and the Government officially prohibits public worship by non-Muslims. However, it does permit and protect private services. Converting from Islam is considered apostasy, and is technically a capital offence; however, there is no record of an execution for such a crime since 1971.
Qatar passed its first anti-terror law in February 2004. The law makes the death penalty or life in prison mandatory for “anyone founding, organising or managing a group or organisation to commit a terror act.”
The last executions took place on 11 March 2003, when Indian national Arun Abraham, sentenced to death by Qatar’s Sharia court for killing a compatriot, was executed by firing squad in Doha’s central prison.
Executions have always been rare in Qatar, although death sentences continued to be imposed. Until 2001, when three people were put to death, there had been no executions in Qatar for 10 years.
The power to commute death sentences rests with the Emir.
In 2012, at least one death sentence was imposed in Qatar. On 31 December, a 21-year-old Sri Lankan expatriate, identified as Venkadasalam Sudeshkar, was sentenced to death by a Doha Court of Appeals for killing his 27-year-old Indian co-worker.
According to Amnesty International, at least 19 prisoners were on death row at the end of 2011, three of whom were sentenced that year.
On 20 December 2012, Qatar voted against the Resolution on a Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty at the UN General Assembly.
