If the claimant is no longer alive, the appeal extends to his or her widow/widower or first-born children. Through a letter signed by Minister Ahmad bin Sulaiman Al-Rajhi of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development , the Saudi government has formally invited Ople to visit the Kingdom on May 24 for a bilateral meeting on labor concerns, including the workers' unpaid claims.
