Might have to summon those who already provided information: Dr Fawaz

The Commission of National Inquiry (CNI) has said that if necessary, the people who have already provided information to the CNI will be summoned to the CNI again for questioning.

CNI member Dr Ali Fawaz made this comment at a press conference at Muleeaage.

He said that by 30 June, 244 people had expressed interest to provide information to CNI, which includes people who previously could not attend the CNI.

Interviews had been conducted with 139 people so far.

“When we halted the work earlier, we had interviewed 87 people. Since we resumed work on 26 June, 52 interviews have been completed. So the total is 139. We have recorded a total of 103 hours of interviews. We are in the process of inviting the 187 people who have submitted application forms to come down for interviews,” Fawaz said.

CNI member Dr Ibrahim Yasir said that the relevant interviews are being translated to English for the foreign members of the CNI.

“If necessary, we will summon the people who have already provided information for questioning. The report will be compiled including information from previous interviews,” Yasir said.

The CNI has announced today that the report will not be completed by 31 July as previously planned.
