After reporting on the detention of eight Indian naval officers in Qatar, an anonymous woman journalist was forced to flee the country or face arrest.

Broadcast journalist Ghada Oueiss is committed to fighting back the vicious online smear campaign against her, reportedly led by Saudi leadership. Ghada has filed a lawsuit against Saudi and Emirati regimes stating that her privacy was compromised to tarnish her character and career. The journalist has always presented a critical view on human rights abuses in the Middle East and Gulf states. CFWIJ stands in solidarity with Ghada in her pursuit of the unjustified torment she suffered.
