(MENAFN- The Peninsula) QNA
New York:Chairman of Qatar's National Human Rights Committee (NHRC), Dr Ali bin Sumaikh Al Marri (pictured), called on the US organisation 'Human Rights First to support the international efforts of human rights organisations, in order to exert more pressure on the siege countries to bring in justice to the victims affected by the blockade.
Dr Al Marri held a meeting with the Director of Human Rights Promotion at the organisation, Neil Hicks, in the framework of his current visit to the United States of America, to mobilise further international human rights support against violations of human rights committed by the siege countries.
Dr Al Marri presented Neil Hicks with a detailed report on the effects and repercussions of the unjust and inhuman siege on the Qatari people and citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council states for more than 100 days, which has resulted in depriving thousands of people and families in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain of their basic human rights, primarily the right to movement, education, health, and family reunion.
Dr Al Marri underlined that the National Human Rights Committee is determined to continue its international efforts until the siege is lifted completely, adding that the Committee is continuing its judicial and legal moves against the siege countries in order to compensate the Qatari victims, and the citizens of the siege countries affected by the blockade.
