(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Egypt's move to ban Qataris from studying in its universities or from entering the country is a violation of basic human rights, Doha resident and Human Rights Committee member Ramazan Ali Miya told Qatar Urdu Radio's live show Haqeeqat yesterday.
'Education is a fundamental right of every human being and anyone who denies that basic right violates all moral and legal codes of conduct, he said.
Miya, also the chairman of Qatar Nepal Society, explained that 44 Qatari students seeking to complete their degrees in various universities in Egypt were recently banned from entering the country.
He also praised the initiatives taken by the Qatari government for students from the blockading countries since the June 5 Saudi-led siege.
'As many as 770 students from the blockading countries were given admission in the government sector schools of Qatar this academic year, which is clearly a sign of the moral high ground Qatar has taken during the crisis.
Haqeeqat, which aims to engage and interact with the large South Asian expatriate community in Qatar, is a joint venture of the Gulf Times and Qatar Media Corporation Urdu Radio. It is broadcast from Sunday to Thursday on FM107. The show is hosted by Saif-ur-Rehman.
