Muda mfupi baada ya kifo cha Wahl, Kaka yake Erik, anayeshiriki mapenzi ya jinsia moja, alidai kuwa ndugu yake aliuawa kwa sababu ya ukosoaji wake kwa Serikali ya Qatar

A second journalist has died suddenly at the Qatar World Cup - 48 hours after a US reporter who made headlines for wearing an LGBT T-shirt died from a 'heart attack'.
Khalid al-Misslam, a Qatari photojournalist working for Al Kass TV, died on Sunday. The circumstances surrounding his death are unclear at this stage.
Qatar news outlet Gulf Times tweeted: 'Al-Misslam, a Qatari, died suddenly while covering the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
'We believe in Allah's mercy and forgiveness for him, and send our deepest condolences to his family.'
The news was confirmed by Al Kass TV, who only briefly mentioned his passing away in a live broadcast and appear to be waiting on further details.
It comes just 48 hours after the death of American journalist Grant Wahl, who had struggled to enter stadiums due to wearing a pro-LGBT top.
The prominent football journalist, 48, collapsed during extra time in the match between Argentina and the Netherlands in Doha on Friday night.
Paramedics performed CPR and used an automatic chest compressor to try and revive him for 20 minutes.
Wahl was rushed to a nearby hospital in an ambulance, where he was pronounced dead from what is reported to have been a heart attack.
Shortly after his passing, Wahl's brother, Erik, who is gay, alleged his brother was murdered because of his constant criticisms of the Qatari regime.
