Three political detainees complete their prison sentence in UAE jails

The three detainees Abdul Salam Darwish, Dr. Saif Al-Ajla and Musabah Al-Rumaithi have completed their prison sentences on July 24, 2022.

The three political detainees have spent a total of 10 years in UAE jails after unfair trials that violate the international fair trial standards.

However, the UAE authorities continue to hold them beyond their release date.

Earlier last week, Dr Mohammed al-Roken has completed his 10-year-prison sentence. However, he remains held in flagrant violation to national and international laws.

ICFUAE calls on the Emirati government to recognise its constitutional responsibility to uphold and respect human rights. To demonstrate its true commitment to human rights and fundamental freedoms, the UAE authorities should not only guarantee the unconditional release of its prisoners of conscience especially this who completed their prison sentences but equally refrain from extending sentences indefinitely.
