Committee to resolve passports renewing crisis, calls Hiraki to resign

Translation by Yusra Ahmed

(Zaman Al Wasl)- The political body of the National Coalition has requested Hisham Marwa to communicate with the Canadian body that replied the message sent by the Embassy of the National Coalition in Doha in regard to renewing the expired passports in the Embassy, and the Canadian body rejected the idea.

The Political body has two days ago formed a committee consisted of Hisham Marwa, Bader Jamous and Yahya Maktabi to communicate with many bodies in regard to renewing passports: the committee that was sent to the Coalition’s Embassy in Qatar and the Embassy itself, the Coalition’s member Nazir al-Hakim, Ambassadors of Syria’s friend countries, and the Canadian body that rejected the process of renewing passports.

The meeting’s decisions those Zaman al-Wasl obtained, included communicating with the United Nation (UN) to evaluate the possibility to issue passports from the UN.

previously, the president of the National Coalition Khalid Khoja confirmed to Zaman al-Wasl that renewing passports in the Coalition’s Embassy in Doha has been put on hold till checking the legality of the process on the other hand, Nizar al-Hiraki confirmed that renewing process is still going on.

Many people were angry from the way al-Hiraki dealt with the matter, and requested his to resign or even to dismiss him, because they felt that renewing passports with renewing stickers could put Syrians in troubles and accusation of forgery.
