DOHA: Qatar's National Human Rights Committee (QNHRC) yesterday called upon the government not to accept any solution to the crisis or engage in negotiations with blockading countries before lifting of human rights violations and injustices and redress for the victims of blockading measures.

The QNHRC welcomed the report issued by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on the impact of the Gulf crisis on human rights.

Speaking at news press held at the headquarter of the NHRC, the President of the QNHRC Dr. Ali bin Sumaikh Al Marri, welcomed the report of the OHCHR Technical Mission on the impact of the Gulf crisis on human rights.

"We welcome what the content of the report despite some observations regarding the statistics of the affected people, as well as insufficient attention to some violations, Al Marri stressed.

The report, he said, affirms that the crisis is not merely the severance of diplomatic relations rather it is a collective punishment, and violations against citizens are substantiated and not just allegations.
