The UAE: Human Rights in Crisis
Within the last quarter, the human rights situation in the UAE appears to have worsened - numerous human rights violations have been documented within the United Arab Emirates, including negligence of prisoners’ rights, arbitrary detentions and humiliating raids in prison. A number of prisoners have gone on hunger strike to protest the poor conditions at Al Razeen prison following attacks on prisoners. The recent tensions between neighbouring Gulf countries have provided a further avenue for the UAE government to further curtail freedom of expression and other rights.
