French tear gas police and Turkish special forces are among alliance set to descend on Qatar

French riot police responsible for tear gas from Liverpool fans and Turkish special forces will be called up to the World Cup in Qatar to prevent football hooliganism from spiraling out of control.

Officers from around the world, including the UK, US, Turkey, South Korea, France, Italy and Pakistan, are among the alliance that will descend on the Gulf state as it prepares to welcome 1.2 million visitors during the worldwide tournament.

The additional officers will be deployed in the eight stadiums in Qatar’s capital, Doha, as well as hotels where the 32 participating teams will be staying.

‘Operation World Cup Shield’, as it has been dubbed, will see some of the toughest police units deployed, including Turkey’s special operations unit, the Polis-Özel-Harekat, the Sun reports.

The Turkish special officers are often used to fight terrorism, but have come under scrutiny for their human rights violations. But when the World Cup comes, a 100-strong force will be armed with rifles, pistols, armed vehicles and an attack helicopter.

Under a protocol signed between the two countries and published in the Turkish Official Gazette, the country is also deploying 3,000 riot police, 50 bomb specialists and 80 search and riot dogs.

They have also offered to send their own warship, the TCG Burgazad, in an effort to bolster security at the World Cup.

The ship, along with 250 officers, has already been sent to Doha in the past month in preparation for the start of the World Cup on November 20.

Turkey will also deal with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defenses during their stay there.

A source revealed that they are learning English and that Qatari officials cannot give them direct orders.

Nearly 800 Qataris have also been trained by Turkey on issues ranging from “sports safety” to “intervention at social events,” the source added.

A report from Nordic Monitor, an NGO that detects terrorist activity, will not be held responsible for its action or any damage in Qatar.

Among them will be French riot police who were shelled outside the Stade De France in Paris during the Champions League final on May 28 for their role in tear gas cannons from Liverpool fans outside the Stade De France in Paris.

Children as young as nine, pregnant women and the disabled were pepper sprayed on a night that masked the event itself as many struggled to even make it to the stadium.

Then Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the horrific scenes were “deeply disturbing and disturbing.” Meanwhile, former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher branded the French government at the time as ‘liars’ who would not take responsibility.

French football magazine So Foot even shot at their country’s police, asking: ‘Has anyone thought of showing Qatar’s images of the Champions League final?’

At a parliamentary hearing in June, Didier Lallement, the police prefect of Paris, even defended the shocking scenes.

France’s chief of police defended suffocating Liverpool football fans, saying: ‘I’m sorry, but there were no other means. The only way was to gas people. I asked to use gas.’

French riot police were also criticized for handling clashes between fans of England and Russia in Marseille during Euro 2016.

Shocking footage showed English crowds being attacked by Russian ultras with metal rods before officers sprayed them with tear gas.

Two England fans, Andrew Bache and Stewart Gray, both fell into a coma from the attack.

Specialized French anti-drone officers will also be added to the corps, which consists of 191 officers.

Qatar will be a sea of ​​security as it adds bomb disposal teams, sniffer dogs and counter-terrorist units.

France has confirmed that female officers will also be deployed after concerns were raised about the treatment they would receive in Qatar – a country where women must obtain permission from their male guardians to marry or study abroad on government grants.

Meanwhile, Pakistan announced last month that it would like to send troops to Qatar, but it is not yet known how many there will be.

Officials confirmed last week that three Pakistani firefighters were killed in a training accident in Qatar just weeks before the start of the World Cup.

Authorities said the three did not participate in a multinational World Cup security exercise currently being held around Doha that includes simulations of “chemical incidents” and demonstrations.

But accounts of friends of the three and on social media said they were sitting on a fire truck-mounted crane that collapsed in the port of Hamad in the Qatari capital as part of a separate training exercise.

It comes as a human rights lawyer in Nepal lashes out at Qatari authorities, claiming the World Cup is ‘bloodstained’ because of the number of deaths of migrant workers.

Despite boycott threats amid widespread criticism of alleged human rights abuses and ill-treatment of migrant workers in the run-up to the World Cup, all 32 teams that qualified for the tournament will participate.

Morocco could send several thousand officers, while South Korea has offered military officers to help train Qatari agents in maintaining law and order.

Spain, which had considered sending 115 officers, eventually withdrew.

Qataris have also reportedly been called upon to assist with security at stadiums, with one source revealing they were told it was their “patriotic duty”.

Meanwhile, 15 British police ‘peacekeepers’ are deployed to help rambunctious football fans avoid being arrested.

Specialized British officers will step in to ‘calm’ supporters at risk of violating strict morality laws.

Drinking alcohol outside of fan zones, swearing and public displays of affection are all offenses that can lead to arrest in the harsh Islamic country.

Around 7,000 fans from England and Wales are expected to travel to Qatar and another 20,000 expat Britons live in the country.
