DUBAI — His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has instructed the authorities concerned to allocate a plot of land for the UAE Human Rights Association’s building so that it assumes its aspired humanitarian role.
The association’s chairman Abdul Ghafar Hussein paid rich tributes to Shaikh Mohammed for the kind gesture which shows his concern and care for freedom and dignity of the human being.
The move underlines Shaikh Mohammed’s commitment as a human being and leader to protection of public freedom and rights of every member of the community, he added.
He said the financial and moral support lent by Shaikh Mohammed to the association provides a strong stimulus for the human rights activists to reinvigorate its role in the local community.
