34. Upon receipt of these complaints, NIHR considered and stated its legal opinion thereon. Out
of 88 complaints, positive results were achieved in 36 complaints for the complainants by
putting an end or preventing the violations committed against them. NIHR dismissed 16
complaints; nine complaints because there were no violated rights and three because NIHR
lacks the competence to consider them, as they were considered before a legal or administrative
investigation body. As regards the remaining four complaints, the complainants have not
completed the necessary procedures to decide on these complaints. NIHR addressed the
competent authorities concerning the remaining 36 complaints, but until the end of December
2014, NIHR received no response on them despite that NIHR re-addressed the competent
authorities with regard to these complaints.
