The parents of the Weekes triplets killed in a fire at a Qatar mall in 2012 say a UN report has confirmed their concerns with the Qatari legal system.
Martin and Jane Weekes' two-year-old triplets Lillie, Jackson and Wilsher were killed in the fire at the Villaggio Mall fire in Doha, Qatar, on 28 May 2012.
The United Nations Report of the Special Rapporteur specifically cited the Villaggio mall fire and highlighted the lack of due process affected families such as the Weekes had faced for the last three years.
The report raised concerns about "serious" shortcomings in the Qatari legal system, which "negatively affect the independence and impartiality of the justice system, as well as the realisation of people's human rights."
The Weekes expressed disappointment that this legal system had allowed the man convicted of their children's involuntary manslaughter, Ali Bin Jasmin Bin Thani Al Thani, to remain as Qatar's ambassador to the European Union while he appealed his sentence.
