A Danish journalist was left shaken after being told by Qatari police to remove a OneLove armband while filming a World Cup segment in Doha on Monday.
Jon Pagh, from Danish station TV 2 Sport, was filming a piece to camera outside the Denmark squad’s hotel when he was stopped by local police. In a video posted to social media, the officer is shown informing the journalist that he must take off the armband, which has proven to be a hot topic during the opening few days of the controversial tournament in the Middle Eastern country.
Pagh refused to take it off, replying: "I respect that you are telling me that, but I can't take it off. Why is it not allowed? Is it because of the colours?"
