He also emphasised the need to be united and put forward new ideas to enhance and promote the culture of human rights, and implement the tasks of the committee to achieve results that foster cooperation and coordination to give back to the nation.

The Human Rights Committee of the Ministry of Interior, headed by Nakhira, held its fifteenth meeting at the Police Officers Club in Al Ain in the presence of Brigadier Mohammad Ali Al Shehhi, Deputy-Director of the Human Rights Department, as well as officers and members of the committee.
