indicated it was closed for the time being, saying that such move means that 
Doha has suspended registration for the upcoming Hajj pilgrimage.
Earlier on Saturday, a Doha-appointed human rights commission says Saudi Arabia 
has been "politicizing” the annual hajj pilgrimage through imposing restrictions 
on Qatari pilgrims travelling to the kingdom.
The National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) said in a statement on Saturday that 
under the Saudi restrictive measures, the Qataris were required to enter the 
kingdom only through two Qatari airports and via the capital, Doha.
The NHRC said it was "extremely concerned over [Riyadh] politicizing religious 
rituals and using [Hajj] to achieve political gains,” adding that "any Qatari 
citizen located outside Qatar must first return to Qatar then travel to Saudi 
Arabia” due to the new measures.
