UAE court postponed the verdict in the trial of Egyptian prisoner for next week

The Egyptian prisoner Mossab Ahmed abdelaziz‘s mother Sabrine Manjood said that the court decided to postpone the verdict in the trial of her son for next Monday 27-06-2016 for more review.

Abd el Aziz has been detained since his arrest on October 21, 2014, on charges that he is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. He told his family that he had spent three months after his arrest in a state security facility that has been the subject of numerous credible allegations of detainee torture.

Abd el Aziz’s sister, Yara, earlier told Human Rights Watch that since his transfer to Al Wathba prison in early February 2015, he has been able to make telephone calls to his family every week or two. In a call to his family, Abd el Aziz said Emirati authorities tortured him to get him to confess to membership in the Muslim Brotherhood.
