Al-Arabiya reported on Sunday that a message on their registration website
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.
