work.
"Mr. Bidali has been formally charged with offences related to payments received by a foreign agent for the creation and distribution of disinformation within the State of Qatar," the GCO said in a statement, without elaborating.
It said his case was transferred to the Public Prosecution after a thorough investigation and that Bidali was "receiving legal advice and representation ahead of the court date, which has not yet been set".
Rights groups including Amnesia Amnesty International said in a statement on Friday that Bidali, a security guard and blogger, told his mother in a May 20 phone call that he was being held in solitary confinement and had no access to a lawyer.
Qatar’s official National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) said authorities gave unrestricted access to Bidali and "he was being treated properly".
NHRC added staff from the Kenyan Embassy visited him and he had contacts with his family and the International Labor Organization (ILO).
