The Emirates Detainees Advocacy Center (EDAC), the Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR), Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch urgently appeal to United Nations special procedures, UN Member States, and the European Union to call on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to drop recent abusive terrorism charges against at least 84 Emiratis. The defendants include many prisoners previously tried in the mass trial in 2012-2013, the UAE94 case, of whom the majority are now arbitrarily detained past the end of their sentences; GCHR’s Board member Ahmed Mansoor and academic Dr. Nasser Bin Ghaith; as well as others in exile.
