In the week before the World Cup premiere, the Danish journalist Rasmus Tantholdt was stopped by security guards while broadcasting live from Qatar.
When Tantholdt did not end the broadcast when the security guards spoke up, viewers could see the Dane questioning the fact that the whole world was invited to Qatar, but then not allowed to film in a public place.
Tantholdt has later announced, via his Twitter, that he and his colleagues have received an apology from the Qatar media section, as well as from the organizing committee.
But on Tuesday evening, the journalist, who works for Danish TV2, once again found himself in the crosshairs of leading figures in Qatar.
On his Twitter, he then wrote the following:
"So now I am detained by Qatari police for filming Iranians being attacked by pro-government Iranians".
The people who Tanholdt believes were attacked wore shirts with the text: "Women.
Life.
Freedom.".
Refused to delete his material
Soon after, Tantholdt updated again and was then able to announce that he had been released.
The police had then demanded that he delete his material, which he refused to do and he subsequently shared the footage on the platform.
In one of them, a family is filmed leaving the match between Iran and the USA and a woman who looks into the camera shares her support for the women of Iran.
Then a uniformed guard comes and puts his hand in front of Tantholdt's camera, saying that he is not allowed to film outside the arena.
The match between Iran and the United States carried a great political charge.
In addition, it was directly decisive for advancement in the tournament.
Christian Pulisic scored the game's only goal, which meant that the USA continues to the round of 16 while the championship is over for Iran.
