MP Thamer Al-Suwait stressed that expats in the country have rights as well as duties, and can be considered a partner in the country’s development, and thus, preventing expats from traveling to their countries while following the procedures mentioned for citizens is not correct, Al Rai daily reported.
Al-Suwait added, “It is not permissible under a moral viewpoint, or law to prevent them from traveling to their countries according to the procedures followed for citizens. There are families and people who have been cut off from their families for more than a year, and this is a responsibility by a government and cannot be accepted.”
