Report: UAE State Security Apparatus Is A Tool of Repression Against Dissenting Voices

MENA rights group released a new report exposing the UAE State Security Apparatus (SSA) as a tool of repression against dissent voice and human rights activists.

The report sheds light on the role of the SSA in perpetrating widespread patterns of human rights violations in the UAE. 

The report examines the history and legal framework that enabled the overarching powers afforded to the SSA.

It further delves into the role of the Emirati judiciary in supporting and enabling the SSA’s abuses.

It then maps out the SSA’s systematic use of enforced disappearance, torture, and arbitrary detention against peaceful critics, human rights defenders and prisoners of conscience more generally. This pattern of violations is exemplified through cases documented by MENA Rights Group.
