Qatar has confirmed it is holding two Britons who went missing while following up reports on the state of migrant workers, Sky News reported.
Krishna Upadhyaya, 52, and photographer Ghimire Gundev, 36, went missing on August 31 as they were preparing to leave the country, which is due to host the World Cup in 2022.
Gundev's wife said she feared her husband and his colleague had been tortured.
Both were in the country on behalf of Norway-based human rights organisation the Global Network for Rights and Development (GNRD).
Amnesty International last week urged Qatari authorities to reveal the men's whereabouts and ensure their safety.
Qatar's Foreign Ministry said the men had been arrested and are being questioned.
A statement carried by the official Qatar News Agency said the pair "are being interrogated for having violated the provisions of the laws of the state of Qatar".
The statement said the way the men were being dealt with was "consistent with the principles of human rights" outlined in the laws of Qatar.
It added that the pair had been visited by officials from the British Embassy.
An official at the British Embassy in Doha confirmed officials were providing consular assistance to the men but was unable to go into further details.
On its website, GNRD said a British representative had transferred a message from Upadhyaya to his family saying: "I am well, I have been well looked after and I will be home soon."
The Global Network for Rights and Development has singled out Qatar in the past for the poor conditions faced by migrant workers.
There have been a number of reports in UK media about the conditions faced by people working on projects connected with the World Cup.
Upadhyaya and Gundev were looking at the treatment of workers from Nepal.
Amnesty International raised concerns on Thursday about the pair's "enforced disappearance", describing it as "extremely worrying".
