US couple facing murder charge in Qatar - Middle East - Al Jazeera English: An American couple are facing murder charges in Qatar over the death of their young adopted daughter, in a case which lawyers and medical experts in the US say is based on shoddy evidence and poor science.
A campaign has been launched in the US over the arrest of Matthew and Grace Huang in January after the death of their nine-year-old daughter, Gloria, who was adopted from Ghana.
According to the California Innocence Project (CIP), a US-based organisation which works on what it believes to be wrongful prosecutions, the Huangs have been denied bail, and their two other children - also adopted from African countries - have not been allowed to leave the country.
If found guilty, the Huangs could face the death penalty under Qatari law, although there has been an effective moratorium on executions for the last 10 years.
