JEDDAH: Leaders of the Al-Murrah tribe in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have warned Doha against harming their relatives in Qatar.
The warning came after Qatar stripped Al-Murrah tribal chief Sheikh Taleb and 54 family members of their citizenship, in a move slammed as “collective punishment” by human rights groups.
It follows a previous action by Doha to force 6,000 tribal members to flee the country, according to reports.
Al-Murrah tribal leaders and members, as well as dignitaries from other tribes, convened early Saturday in Al-Ahsa, eastern ��������, to show solidarity with Sheikh Taleb.
He received the guests in his home, where many delivered speeches denouncing the practices of the Qatari authorities.
Sheikh Taleb recently confirmed in a video recording that Qatar had revoked his and his family’s citizenship.
“My citizenship isn’t a gift from Hamad bin Khalifa – former ruler of Qatar. It was offered to me by Sheikh Ali bin Abdullah Al-Thani (who ruled Qatar between 1949 and 1960). Therefore … Hamad bin Khalifa has no right to revoke it.”
Commenting on the reason for revoking his citizenship, Sheikh Taleb said it was “because we refused to insult” �������� and its leadership.
