Mr President, the internal situation in the United Arab Emirates is described as authoritarian, with the suppression of civil society and persecution and imprisonment of dissidents; and I am afraid this internal political situation will remain as it is for a long time to come, because the government of the UAE does not lend a sympathetic ear – in other words, it does not pay attention to the views of the international community or to what is required by UN decisions and human rights.
The situation in the UAE is, of course, in line with the situation in the wider Middle East, where I fear the Arab Spring has turned into a Christian Winter for those who live there. The last few years have indeed been disastrous for the millions of beleaguered Christians in the region.
We are seeing the same situation in Egypt, Iraq and Syria, and we are facing a serious problem with the Christians in that region, and must take action to solve it."@en1
