Alleged Qatar blockade denied
National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR)
London - Emirates Voice
National Institution for Human Rights (NIHR) Chairman Said bin Mohammed Al-Faihani met House of Lords member Lord Richard Napier Luce and discussed cooperation.
He gave an update on the history of the national watchdog as well its membership mechanism and role in fostering and protecting human rights in Bahrain.
Al-Faihani denied the alleged blockade on Qatar, urging the Qatari National Institution to stop exaggerating facts and exploiting the issue of human rights.
“The concept of blockade does not apply to the situation in Qatar as its airports remain open round the clock”, he said, adding that the Qatari National Institution is merely seeking to mobilise public opinion and play the victim.
He said that the sovereign measures taken by the countries that boycotted Qatar resulted from the Doha support to extremist and terrorist groups which threaten security and stability.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
