UAE human rights group attends trial of 94 accused of threatening national security

Dubai: The Emirates Human Rights Association will attend the fifth hearing of 94 Emiratis charged with threatening national security on Tuesday.

The hearing, presided over by Judge Falah Al Hajiri, will take place at the Federal Supreme Court.

The association appealed to the court and the Public Prosecution to enable the families of suspects to see them and extend the visiting time to 30 minutes.

It also asked the Public Prosecution to swiftly take the necessary procedures to implement the court’s decisions related to giving the suspects an opportunity to meet with their lawyers, and not to put them in individual cells.
