Al-Ghanim told KUNA "the proposal comes as a request from the Kuwaiti National Assembly and the Arab group in IPU, because no parliament, which is supposed to represent its nation, is to accept the massacres carried out against its people." He hoped that the executive committee would accept the proposal at its meeting next Thursday.
Al-Ghanim said that this move is a political act to complement suspension of Syria’s membership in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in accordance with the decisions of its recent conference in Saudi Arabia.
In addition, he stressed the need to suspend Syrian parliament’s membership until the crisis is over and a real parliament is formed to represent the true needs and legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.
Al-Ghanim also said that there may be a possibility of rejecting the Kuwaiti proposal, which would put it to vote, but there is hope in the clear message sent from governments of Muslim, Arab and fair countries of the world to support this proposal.
Furthermore, he said that Kuwait, since taking the concerns of the Arab group in IPU, is on the lead of of dealing with thorny issues concerning Arab and Muslim countries, noting that this job "is less than what we can offer at the global parliamentary level to support people of Syria."
In the meantime, Kuwait filed a proposal on Tuesday by the President of the Arab Parliament, Kuwaiti MP Ali Al-Deqbasi, to organize a conference in order to dicuss the status of Palestinian parliamentarians detained by the Israeli authorities.
