Interpol prevention for British man prosecuted over Vapes in Qatar

British Man Spared INTERPOL Red Notice After Qatar Vape Arrest

A British national never expected a simple online order to lead to arrest, imprisonment, and a looming international legal threat. While staying in Qatar, he purchased two clothing items and a CBD e-cigarette online. But when one clothing item was unavailable, the seller substituted five CBD vapes, without warning him that these products were illegal in Qatar, despite their widespread and visible use.

He was jailed for 23 days before being released and allowed to return home to England. He believed the matter was over. It wasn’t.
