Amidst the ongoing torture and inhumane treatment, this is how #DetaineesOfConscience described the deterioration of their mental and physical health in UAE prisons during the tenth session of the #UAE84 trial.

In the 10th session of #UAE84 detainees once again raised the issue of solitary confinement and their health deterioration; #KhalifaAlNuaimi and #RashidBinSabt complained of hearing strange voices saying their mental and physical health is deteriorating due to torture and neglect

In the 10th session of #UAE8 detainee #AbdulSalamDarwish said the investigator informed him that the case was predetermined and all members would be convicted in all circumstances until justifying the detention of #UAE94 group for more than 2 years despite serving their sentences

According to EDAC, Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal has decided to adjourn #UAE84 case for judgment until July 10th, during the tenth session held yesterday, Thursday, where the court completed hearing the pleas of the lawyers and #DetaineesOfConscience .

The dissolution of state security courts in several Arab countries after the Arab Spring was an implicit acknowledgment of their violation of legal standards. However, repressive regimes like the UAE still rely on them to suppress voices seeking justice and freedom.

After the French Revolution, many repressive regimes began establishing state security courts; their image solidified in people's minds as nothing more than a tool of repression and dictatorship, prompting many rights organizations to demand their abolition. Will the UAE comply?

State security courts are often related to the trial of dissidents and the suppression of freedoms, making their primary function the repression of opposition; a prominent example is #UAE84 where we witness various forms of legal violations, intimidation and collective punishment

What makes state security courts oppressive? Perhaps the answer lies in #UAE84 , where authorities enacted special laws and independent systems separate from ordinary state laws, granting the right to detain #DetaineesOfConscience indefinitely after violating the legal guarantees.

The first State Security Court was established during the French Revolution in 1789. Initially, its purpose was to safeguard the revolution and maintain national stability. However, over time, it became associated with oppression and fear, much like what's happening now in #UAE84

The primary reason for the negative reputation of State Security Courts is that they have often been special courts formed and directly appointed by the government, without regard for judicial independence. This in itself has undermined their credibility.

The State Security Court in the UAE shares a similar history with other repressive courts; it has been a tool of oppression and fear, rather than a safeguard for security and reassurance for citizens; #UAE84 is a compelling example of that.

The Emirati authorities' referral of 84 Emirati dissidents to the State Security Court in #UAE84 underscores its role in persecuting dissent and suppressing individual freedoms. This should prompt concerned organizations to advocate for the court's abolition.

He sought freedom but was labeled a terrorist. This is how committed the Emirati authorities were to keeping engineer #AbdulWahidAlShehhi imprisoned.

Despite serving his sentence until March 26, 2018, UAE authorities refused to release engineer #AbdulWahidAlShehhi . He remains detained under the same charges in the #UAE84 , accused of involvement with a terrorist organization. The trial began on December 7, 2023, and continues.

After his arbitrary arrest by Emirati authorities on false terrorism charges, engineer #AbdulWahidAlShehhi 's health deteriorated rapidly as he suffered from dizziness and was diagnosed with stomach inflammation and duodenal ulcer due to harsh detention conditions and torture.

He was arrested without charges or an arrest warrant, he finished his sentence and Instead of releasing him, the UAE authorities are trying him on the same charges in the #UAE84 case. Who is #AbdulWahidAlShehhi ?

One of the #UAE84 #DetaineesOfConscience is architect #AbdulWahidAlShehhi formerly a roads management director at the Ministry of Public Works. He was arrested by UAE authorities subjected to enforced disappearance, torture and arbitrary detention for advocating political reforms

In a report revealing shocking details, Human Rights Watch Human Rights Watch says the 'UAE 84' trial is 'farce' and calls for its immediate cessation.

Relying on EDAC, Human Rights Watch warned of UAE violating the principle of double jeopardy in #UAE84 which prohibits trying individuals twice for the same crime after receiving a final verdict. It said at least 60 of the defendants had previously been convicted in 2013 for the same charge.
