A journalist from that semi-public channel in

was making a live connection from a roundabout when two Qatari security people approached him and told him that he did not have permission to record there, while trying to cover the camera's viewfinder with their hand.
"You have invited everyone to come here. Why can't we film? It's a public place," journalist
Rasmus Tantholdt

The Qatar 2022 organizing committee later sent an
official apology
to the channel.
