The National Human Rights Committee (NCHR) has called on the US Department of State to take a clear and firm stance against violations and collective punishment against the Qatari people and residents as a result of the siege imposed on the State . This came during a meeting of Dr. Ali Bin Smaikh Al Marri, Chairman The National Human Rights Committee at the State Department here today with HE Ellen Germain, Acting Assistant Secretary of State, and HE Christina Lucosen, Head of the Office of Human Rights and Workers' Affairs of the US Department of State.
Dr. Al Marri gave a detailed explanation on the violations of the basic human rights principles of the citizens and residents of the State of Qatar, the GCC citizens and other nationalities. He explained the steps and legal procedures adopted by the NHRC since the beginning of the crisis and the extent to which specialised international organisations and agencies responded to them and their condemnation of this blockade.
