Swiss lawyers to represent Qatar in legal case over Saudi siege

‘A human rights group in Qatar has announced that it will hire lawyers from Switzerland to file complaints against its Arab neighbors of the Persian Gulf region over a siege they have imposed on the emirate.
Qatar’s National Human Rights Commission said Wednesday that the lawyers would be employed to pursue a legal action against Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain over their move to cut ties with Qatar which has effectively put the country under a land, air and sea blockade.
“We’ll be coordinating to start legal action with those affected by these sanctions,” the chairman of the top rights group, Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri, said, adding, “The three countries are responsible to compensate those affected.”
Marri said many Qataris, including those who own properties and businesses in the three countries or families who have parents from Qatar and one of the three neighboring states, qualified for compensation.’
