UAE’s Counselling Centres: “Munasaha Centres”
A number of political prisoners in the UAE are indefinitely detained in Munasaha centres, also known as ‘counselling’ centres. Jailed in direct reprisal of their peaceful activism and expression of political opinion these individuals have served their full original sentences.
The practice of extending prisoners’ sentences through the arbitrary detention in Munasaha centres sheds light on the UAE’s efforts to further silence those originally convicted for peacefully expressing their political opinion.
