Anyone held for any length of time will probably be taken to the country’s main jail, Doha Central Prison

Prisoners will be shackled in handcuffs and leg chains when transported and will be subjected to an ‘intimate body search’.Anyone detained during the World Cup pending further investigations is ‘highly likely’ to wash up at Central Prison, according to official UK government advice, and may be forced to wear a prison-issue uniform.
