The title is inflammatory if the events in the article are true. They were arrested for willful trespassing and then released shortly after. Hardly news worth

  They were arrested and released without explanation. The police PR dept then came up with trespassing story without any details.

  Yes the Qataris absolutely deserve the benefit of the doubt here!

  They interviewed an important sports figure. They get arrested at the hotel questioned for 8 hours locked in different cells with 12 other inmates. They looked through all of their photos. Then they made up a trespassing charge but failed to mention where/when this happened. Title is not inflammatory enough.

    And forced to sign a paper in an idiom that they didn't understood to be released, it seems. But the "we aren't interested in the event anymore" said by their bosses is very explanatory. There will be monetary consequences if the chains refuse to broadcast it or choose to put it in a worse hour. I bet that the offended channels are evaluating seriously this at this moment.

  "We interview the chairman at length after a ceremony, and return to our hotel at noon to fetch our equipment. We are then approached by 5 or 6 men who identify themselves as police and take us to the station," reporter Halvor Ekeland says. "We are questioned for eight hours in separate rooms, one at a time." Questioned 8 hours for trespassing? Right after the interview?
