The attorney general in Qatar is to launch an appeal against the acquittal of several people over a fire that left 19 dead, including 13 children.
Last month, the Court of Appeal overturned convictions of involuntary manslaughter over the 2012 fire in a shopping mall nursery in Doha.
Among those acquitted was Sheikh Ali bin Jassim al-Thani, Qatar’s ambassador to Belgium, who co-owned the nursery.
A 2013 investigation had found that a series of safety laws had been broken.
The fire was caused by an electrical fault at the Gympanzee nursery in the capital Doha’s Villaggio Mall in May 2012.
