Video: Female detainees enduring harsh conditions in UAE jails

Rights groups raised alarm bells over the dire conditions endured by female prisoners in UAE jails.

According to the sources, female political prisoners in Abu Dhabi have complained of torture, degrading conditions of detention, and endemic racism in Abu Dhabi’s prison system where African inmates are treated like “slaves” by prison warders

Calls have been launched on UAE authorities to open a prompt and serious investigation by an independent body regarding their exposure to torture.
