Qatar, represented by the Ministry of Interior (MoI), won the first place in two categories in a competition of awareness films organised by the General Secretariat of the Arab Interior Ministers’ Council.

The ministry won awards for best film on the “misuse of the Internet and its role in intellectual deviation and the spread of crime” and best film on “the role of family and the community in protecting youth from violence and extremism”.

The awards, given at the 38th conference of Arab police and security chiefs in Tunis, highlighted the ministry’s efforts in protecting the community from social evils and crimes, according to a statement.  

The awards were received by Brig Khalifa Abdullah al-Noaimi, director general of the General Directorate of Criminal Investigations who headed the Qatari delegation at the conference, from Dr Mohamed bin Ali Kouman, secretary general of the Arab Interior Ministers’ Council.

Abdullah Khalifa al-Muftah, director of the MoI’s Public Relations Department, expressed pleasure at the achievement. He said this highlighted the success of the ministry in promoting security awareness in all sections of society.

Qatar’s MoI has won honours in most of the security awareness film contests organised by the General Secretariat of the Arab Interior Ministers’ Council every year.

In the competition held by the General Secretariat in 2012, the ministry won for the eighth time in a row the first place for a film on the fight against human trafficking.
