Decision denying Qatari citizens entry visas welcomed

Manama, Aug.21 (BNA): Manama Centre for Human Rights has today welcomed the sovereign decision which was taken by the Kingdom of Bahrain, denying Qatari citizens entry visas to Bahrain. It voiced the stance today, citing the statement issued by the Ministry of Interior, which is based on the directives of the Cabinet to take the required measures. The centre commended the humanitarian gesture, exempting Qatari students in Bahrain from the decision, taking into account the right to learning, as per the international convention of economic, social and cultural rights and all regional and international human rights covenants. The gesture is also in compliance with the Constitution of Bahrain, the National Action Charter and all other relevant national legislations. The centre reiterated the call to the Qatari authorities to respect the rights of neighborliness and the principles of the international law, stressing historic relations binding the two brotherly peoples.
