The UAE’s prisons, hold dozens of political prisoners and human rights activists for campaigning for reform in the Gulf country.
Several political prisoners, including women, are still detained in UAE jails after receiving high prison sentences over their human rights activism. Prominent human rights defenders Ahmed Mansoor, Dr Mohamed al-Roken, and Dr Nasser bin Gaith are among dozens held amid very difficult detention conditions.
19 political prisoners are still also held beyond their release dates despite completing their prison terms.
In this regard, Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) invite you to join its webinar, to shed light on the plight of political prisoners in UAE’s notorious prisons.
