Manuel Guerrero, 44, is banned from leaving the country and is about to run out of antiretroviral medication, his brother Enrique tells The Advocate.
The brother of a gay British man is warning that despite his release from Qatari prison, his brother’s detention in the country could be a death sentence.
Forty-four-year-old Manuel Guerrero, who also holds Mexican citizenship, moved to Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal, seven years ago for his work. He was detained on February 4 after being entrapped by law enforcement through a fake Grindr profile, and was held in jail for nearly two months.
During that time, Qatari authorities subjected Guerrero to secret nighttime interrogations where they forced him to name other LGBTQ+ people he had relations with, according to his family. After learning of his HIV status, they locked him in solitary confinement and refused to administer his medication.
