I-UAE iqinisekisile malunga ne-200 yamatyala eCoronavirus, kwaye iQatar isondele kwi-500 ngexesha lezimvo zikaStirling. Omabini la mazwe asemngciphekweni wokuvezwa okunokubakho kubantu abalulekileyo baseIran kunye norhwebo. I-Iran inezehlo eziphezulu zeCoronavirus kule ngingqi, inamatyala angaphezu kwama-23,000 kunye nokusweleka kwabantu abaphantse babe ngama-2,000 XNUMX ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. I-Qatar kunye ne-Emirates bayivalile inqwelomoya yenqwelomoya ukuya nokubuya eIran, kodwa uthutho lwaselwandle luyaqhubeka ngemingcele embalwa.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- But the measures being taken thus far by the governments in the region are inadequate to protect the public,” Stirling says, “Our citizens, whether from the UK, Australia, Canada, Europe or the US, who are held in the Gulf on private financial disputes pose no risk to anyone if they are repatriated, but are themselves at a severe risk if they are not.
- We are calling upon the governments of Qatar and the UAE specifically to release our citizens and let them come home, and we are asking the relevant officials of Western governments, including the UK, to urgently request the repatriation of our detained citizens to ensure their safety amidst the growing Coronavirus pandemic”.
- Things like bounced checks have led to wrongful imprisonment in case after case and these detainees now face a substantial threat from exposure to the Coronavirus in overcrowded, unhygienic facilities in countries like the UAE and Qatar.
