During the 9th #UAE84 session, the lawyer representing #RashidBinSabt, one of the #UAE84 #DetaineesOfConscience, asked for a medical committee after bin Sabt's health deteriorated and that the prison administration still refuses to fulfill even his basic personal needs.
The 9th session of #UAE84 trial affirmed the UAE insistence on conducting the trial behind closed doors, almost secretly, violating the principle of trial transparency where media were barred and only a few relatives were allowed to attend amidst strict and suppressive measures
During the 9th session of the #UAE84 trial, the court allowed the prosecution to present a rebuttal to what the defendants and defense lawyers said, sparking legal debate inside the courtroom as norms typically don't permit such responses during defendants' presentations.
🚩NEW: @hrw's new report documents how #UAE authorities are holding an unfair mass trial with serious due process concerns, including torture. Defendants described abusive detention conditions: prolonged solitary confinement, assaults & forced nudity. hrw.org/news/2024/04/2…
During the 9th session of #UAE84 held last Thursday, many #DetaineesOfConscience said the prison administration did not allow their families to call them during Eid al-Fitr;one of them said the prosecution had deleted a large part of the written pleading he submitted to the court
Many sources confirmed to Emirates Detainees Advocacy Center that, after 150 days since the first session of the #UAE84, the prosecution continues to deny some detainees of their right to meet with their lawyers, a blatant violation of their most basic rights of the UAE law.
Health Deterioration and Rights Neglect.. Here Are the Details of the 9th Session of the #UAE84 buff.ly/3QfYjhJ
The latest @amnesty report highlighted arbitrary detention in the UAE, noting that 23 out of 26 #DetaineesOfConscience had served their sentences but the UAE continued to detain in #CounselingCenters
The latest @amnesty report highlighted arbitrary detention in the UAE, noting that 23 out of 26 #DetaineesOfConscience had served their sentences but the UAE continued to detain them under a law allowing indefinite detention for "rehabilitation to combat extremist ideology."
Amnesty, The UAE Continues to Suppress Freedom and Detain Rights Defenders. buff.ly/3y1M6Hb
The State of the World's Human Rights report of @amnesty stated that the UAE continue to impose unjustifiable restrictions on freedom and peaceful assembly, with 26 #DetaineesOfConscience being arbitrarily detained and a new mass trial #UAE84 involving over 80 Emiratis, has begun
In response to UN experts' claims regarding #UAE84 injust proceedings, the UAE said at this stage, any claims of procedural injustice cannot be addressed, indicating that without examining the procedures as a whole, speculating about the expected overall fairness would be futile.
Inability to respond and flimsy arguments analysis of the UAE's response to the United Nations report regarding #UAE84 buff.ly/4aLWTUI
Why did the UAE request 90 days to respond to the UN experts' letter? And what's the link between the inquiries to violations in #UAE84, like torture and solitary confinement, to the independence of the judiciary that the UAE cited as its reason for refusing to answer?
Since 2010 UN experts have sent 73 letters to the UAE, the latest was in Jan 2024 regarding #UAE84 violations which again shed light on the policy of procrastination. After 90 days, the UAE refused to provide any information claiming it would interfere with judicial independence
How did the UAE respond to UN accusations regarding #UAE84 ? buff.ly/3xQHGD6
The @MENA_Rights shed light on #UAE84, comprising 84 defendants, targeting activists and political dissenters, noting that they were previously arrested in 2013 during an unfair mass political trial known as #UAE94 , in retaliation for their advocacy for democratic reforms.
The @MENA_Rights 2023 annual report recorded 45 cases of human rights violations under the guise of counter-terrorism in six countries, noting that the UAE accounted for the largest share, with the group documenting 20 cases.
The @MENA_Rights annual report revealed UAE exploitation of the 2014 Anti-Terrorism Crime Law to prosecute political dissidents and rights defenders in the country's 2nd largest political mass trial that started on Dec 7, 2023 and continues to date, known as the #UAE84 trial.
The @MENA_Rights annual report reveals a prominent pattern observed during its documentation of human rights violations in the region, characterized by regimes resorting to the use of anti-terrorism laws to suppress opposition where the #UAE topped the list comprising 6 countries

@UNHumanRights @mbachelet Something’s off about this picture..
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet Don’t believe this for a minute.
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet I don't believe a word of it.
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet Not convinced. Have aproper interview with a proper journalist.
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet It’s good to know Sheikha Latifa is alive. But her comments are a marked contrast from her earlier messages. Any news on her sister, Shamsa?
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet Thank you @mbachelet. ❤️ Be well Princess Latifa. Please give your supporters frequent updates. #freeshamsa
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet سؤال هذي منو اصلا وين هذا الشكل و وين اصلا الشيخه لطيفة اسميكم حق المنكر والنكير جاهزين صدق يوم قالو ابليس موجود صاحب الفتنه يمشي على الارض
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet Weired. Given the article is fundamentally wrong (Latifa has been kept hostage at least 3 years 2018-2021), this sounds to me more like the #freelatifa campaign has been silenced. Where is her sister Shamsa?! Latifa's escape was to end Shamsa's captivity initially. #freeShamsa
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet Good for her, but where is her sister Sheikha #Shamsa? There are still many questions surrounding this case. #freelatifa #FreeShamsa
@JAkinniranye @UNHumanRights @mbachelet Well done for kidnapping a woman, drugging her and holding her against her will for years because they finally let her go? Yeah, well done indeed
@tennysonsarah1 @UNHumanRights @mbachelet #SheikaLatifa doesn't want privacy. She wanted the world to know what happened to her. If she actually said this, it's under threat. She loves & adores #Shamsa & no one has heard from her for a decade when she was kidnapped off the streets of London. Did they threaten her life?
@UNHumanRights @mbachelet I'm not convinced. Latifa could've travelled to Paris escorted &under surveillance. Her wish for privacy strongly echoes Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai. These 2 ladies managed to denounce abuse, then literally disappeared for months, to reappear begging for privacy?Very strange
