Where did you read they are funded by Qatar? Some quick searching indicates that's false.

HRW was caught in the past soliciting donations from Saudis in return for restricting their Middle East reporting [1]

Project Raven, a UAE offensive cyber operation has leaked a document by the Qatar government concerning financing of HRW [2][3]

Thanks for sharing. I don't personally see how those disqualify the information in the article though.

I see very little evidence by the HRW research, just an appeal to the authority of a human rights organization ability for impartial investigation.

However, I am calling that impartially into question due to evidence pointing otherwise
