Moreover, Abu Dhabi imposes restrictions on freedom of expression and has often detained activists merely for their statements and opinions.<\/p>\n<p>On the opposition website &#8220;Support UAE Detainees,&#8221; Emirati activists confirmed that their government continues to detain dozens of individuals, including 55 opposition members, lawyers, and others convicted in a mass trial known as the &#8220;UAE 94&#8221; case.<\/p>\n<p>The UAE continues to suppress opposition, detaining prominent human rights defenders such as Ahmed Mansoor and Dr. Nasser bin Ghaith, and retaliating against others like Amina Al Abdouli and Mariam Al Balushi for speaking out about prison abuses.<\/p>\n<p>The statement emphasized the need for authorities to also address other human rights abuses, such as monitoring government critics using advanced surveillance technology to suppress opposition and using repressive laws to imprison human rights defenders and opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Among the UAE&#8217;s human rights violations is the effective denial of Emirati citizens&#8217; right to peaceful assembly through strict legal restrictions and the denial of migrant workers, who suffer human rights abuses, the right to form unions.<\/p>\n<p>In UAE prisons, at least 58 individuals remain detained even after serving their sentences. The Emirati authorities use Article 40 of Federal Law No. 7 of 2014 to regulate so-called &#8220;counter-terrorism crimes,&#8221; which provides a vague and broad definition of terrorism, to detain individuals indefinitely after they&#8217;ve served their sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Observers believe that the process of detaining individuals after their sentences are not transparent and lacks the minimum standards of justice and due legal procedures.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the UAE&#8217;s pledge to allow peaceful protests, some NGOs say they won&#8217;t attend the summit for fear of restrictions on freedoms or detention, while others have called for a boycott of the summit.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1215\" style=\"width: 855px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Al-Razeen-Prison-also-known-as-Guantanamo-UAE.jpeg\" alt=\"Al Razeen Prison also known as Guanta\u0301namo UAE\" width=\"855\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Al-Razeen-Prison-also-known-as-Guantanamo-UAE.jpeg 855w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Al-Razeen-Prison-also-known-as-Guantanamo-UAE-300x174.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Al-Razeen-Prison-also-known-as-Guantanamo-UAE-768x445.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Al-Razeen-Prison-also-known-as-Guantanamo-UAE-150x87.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Al-Razeen-Prison-also-known-as-Guantanamo-UAE-450x261.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Al Razeen Prison also known as Guanta\u0301namo UAE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sanjeev Berry, the Executive Director of Freedom Forward, an organization advocating for climate and human rights, questioned the feasibility of holding global climate negotiations in a country where peaceful opponents and activists are behind bars.
