Al-Masanne says he was forced to retireFormer ambassador complains of injustice [Archives:2004/734/Opinion]
Abdulrab Alwan Al-Masanne, following his long suffering, recently sent a bitter and complaining letter to First Undersecretary of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Mohe Aldeen Al-Dhabi.
The former ambassador said he was forced to retire, without any rights.
He appealed for justice he has encountered in the diminution of status of his job position he has gained during decades of work in the diplomatic corp.
He complained of the mental, financial and material damages from the treatment with injustice towards his earned rights.
He stated in his letter, “The virtuous decrepitude laws did not embrace me or gave me a sense of belonging to this country, nor the exceptions and the omnipotence violations hosted me for at least once in a life time.
In order to compensate for my feelings of desolation and nostalgia during the expatriation from my country. There is nothing worse for one to feel than the feeling of subjugation and injustice by those closest to you.”
He added that he would not dispute the legality of the measures of Ministry of Foreign Affairs to terminate his services to the country, similarly to his colleagues, but he would dispute the discriminatory treatment and handling of his situation.
Al-Masanne concluded his letter by accusing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of discriminatory treatment of staff, and the distribution of promotions and remuneration conducted selectively, imprecisely and not transparently.
He demanded organizations concerned with human rights to find a shelter for him and his family to spend what remains of the rest of his life, considering him what he calls “a human who has found in his country nothing but humiliation, injustice and ignominy.”
