Abu Dhabi: The Emirates Writers Union (EWU) has said that legal procedures practiced in the trial of the secret organisation emphasised that the UAE is a state of constitution, sovereignty and law.
''The collusion of few persons against the State and gains of the UAE people is definitely something alien to the common sense of the UAE people and generosity of its leadership,'' The EWU said in a statement it issued today following the announcement of verdicts in the case.
The statement noted that the convicts only represented themselves and were sure acting out of the nation's consensus.
The statement hailed the atmosphere of freedom of expression and opinion in the UAE, citing that courts of rulers were always open for citizens.
The statement added that an EWU delegation had attended the court hearings and were assured of the adequate procedures of court transparency.
The EWU congratulated those found innocent and called on the youth to work diligently to serve their nation away from allegations of ignorant and outlawed groups.
