Gatestone Institute: The UAE is an autocracy where political parties are banned

Gatestone Institute, a U.S. non-partisan, not-for-profit international policy council, said in a new report detailing human rights violations in U.S. allied countries that the UAE is an autocracy where political parties are banned.

The report quoted Human Rights Watch (HRW) as saying that the Gulf state "often uses its affluence to mask [its] government's serious human rights problems.

The government arbitrarily detains, and in some cases forcibly disappears, individuals who criticized the authorities, and its security forces face allegations of torturing detainees, according to the report.

The report also pointed to the recorded violence against women in the UAE, the abuse of the migrant workers who form 88.5% of its population, and who often live in slave-like conditions.
