A second journalist has died in Qatar, days after the death of US reporter who wore a rainbow t-shirt in support of the LGBTQ community. Khalid al-Misslam, a Qatari photojournalist, was working for Al Kass TV, according to Metro<\/em>. He died on Sunday. The Qatari authorities have not released the official cause of his death, the outlet further said. The news about Al-Misslam was posted on Twitter by Gulf Times<\/em>, which said he “died suddenly while covering the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.”<\/p>\n

“We believe in Allah’s mercy and forgiveness for him, and send our deepest condolences to his family,” the tweet further said.<\/p>\n

Al Kass TV also confirmed the news in a live broadcast and said they are waiting for further details, a report in Metro<\/em><\/a> said.<\/p>\n

This comes barely 48 hours after the death of American journalist Grant Wahl<\/a>. The 48-year-old collapsed while covering the quarterfinal match between Argentina and the Netherlands at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mr Wahl’s brother, Eric, alleged that the Qatari government may have been involved in the death of the former Sports Illustrated<\/em> journalist.<\/p>\n

Mr Wahl’s wife, Celine Gounder, an epidemiologist and expert on infectious diseases expressed her shock on social media.<\/p>\n

He was briefly detained in Qatar for wearing a rainbow shirt in support of the LGBTQ community. Mr Wahl’s had said that his phone was taken away when he tweeted about the incident.<\/p>\n

There have been concerns over the rights of fans travelling to the event, especially LGBT+ individuals and women, who are discriminated against by the Qatari government, according to rights groups.<\/p>\n
