He played a prominent role in the Qatar National Unity Front, a nationalist movement which was co-founded by his father in 1963. He received a jail sentence for his role in the movement during a government crackdown in May of 1963.[2] He immigrated to Kuwait after he was released from prison in 1965,[3][4] returning to Qatar after two years.[3]
