Al Marri called for maximising and joining efforts to lift these violations that the Qatari people, Gulf region peoples as well as residents from other nationalities have been suffering from.

Dr Al Marri briefed the high commissioner on NHRC’s efforts to expose these violations in line with its powers, in addition to addressing relevant regional and international organisations to solve them.

Al Marri called for maximising and joining efforts to lift these violations that the Qatari people, Gulf region peoples as well as residents from other nationalities have been suffering from.

He presented the latest detailed statistics on violations related to the complaints that the committee has received from the affected parties, stressing that NHRC will spare no effort to continue to work to lift the injustice placed on them and demand the restoration of their documented rights in the reports of the committee.
