As UAE celebrates National Day, activists continue to be targeted by govt

As UAE continues to celebrate its National Day,online activists are continued to be targeted for voicing criticism to the government.

On Thursday, the UAE authorities approved a decree-law to ensure "cyber criminals face tough penalties."

The new law would tighten the noose around peaceful activists for their online activism.

Under the UAE government’s cybercrime law, the UAE criminalises the use of the internet for exposing human rights violations in the country.
