The unfair mass trial of 84 Emirati men, including human rights defenders and prisoners of conscience Ahmed Mansoor, Mohammed al-Roken and Nasser bin Ghaith, on charges under an indictment that has so far been kept secret, is ongoing. On 7 February 2024, during the fifth trial session before the Federal Appeal Court in Abu Dhabi, defendants stated that they continued to be held in solitary confinement and disputed the Prosecution’s arguments that the new case against them is different from the one they had previously been convicted and sentenced for in 2013.
