Press Releases | 08 January 2014
As announced in its press release of 24 December 2013, the Council of the Alkarama Foundation has been meeting regularly in recent days to discuss the measures to be taken to deal with the U.S. Treasury Department's decision to qualify Dr. Abd al- Rahman Omair Al Naimi as "Specially Designated International Terrorist".
As soon as he learned about the U.S. decision, Mr. Al Naimi informed the Council of the Foundation that he would resign from the Council so as not to "harm the organization" and to " dedicate himself to demonstrating that the serious accusations against him by the US authorities are baseless and false". The Council initially decided to accept the resignation of Mr. Al Naimi.
