Qatar- Claims panel transfers cases to legal body


(MENAFN- The Peninsula) By Sidi Mohamed / The Peninsula

The Compensation Claims Committee has transferred all the complaints received in the last two weeks to the legal committee to study the files and evaluate them, said a source at the committee.
The complaints were filed by citizens and residents, who were affected by the ongoing blockade on Qatar imposed by the three GCC countries.
The committee has received a number of complaints from companies working in Qatar for many years and are affected by the blockade when their goods and shipments had been confiscated in the siege countries, especially United Arab Emirates.
Some citizens have also filed complaints saying that they were barred from real state deals in siege countries because they were renting them and the tenants were transferring the rent to their bank accounts. Now all these transactions have been stopped. Some others, who have online businesses, are also not allowed to deliver goods to clients because of the obstacles imposed by the siege countries on delivery companies.
Some Qatari students were also banned from obtaining visas to complete their study in Egypt, and even the ones who wanted to complete in other universities were also banned to get their school documents.
The committee also received complaints from people who lost their properties like apartments, villas and plots of land in siege countries. Some also lost their livestock in Saudi Arabia and statistics show that the livestock comprises of more than 22,000 camels and other livestock.
The committee was established to protect the people's rights, and most of the complaints which were filed to the committee were transferred to the international law firms.
The committee is still receiving complaints from people at the committee headquarters at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center, while the complaints of companies are received at Qatar Chamber.
The siege has violated the rights of people to travel, their right to education, work, and residency and also separated families.
