A Doha Criminal Court has sentenced a passenger transiting through Hamad International Airport to three months in jail and imposed a fine of QR3,500 on him for being intoxicated and smoking in an undesignated area.
According to local Arabic daily Arrayah, an employee at the airport saw the man smoking in an undesignated area and also found him in an "unstable" state. Accordingly, the defendant was arrested.
During police investigation, he admitted to having smoked in the area mentioned above, claiming that he did not know that smoking was banned there. He, however, denied being intoxicated.
A blood test, though, proved that the man had consumed alcohol and images captured by surveillance cameras proved that he had smoked in an undesignated area, which led the court to convict him.
