"Mr President, the UAE authorities have suppressed some democratic reforms. For instance, the government is detaining human rights defenders, activists and journalists. These individuals face the possible denial of their Emirate identity. In addition, their lawyers are dealing with harassment and the constant threat of deportation. According to the authorities, they were apprehended in an attempt to overthrow the government. However, this accusation seems to be a cover-up to hide the fact that the government is denying its own people this fundamental right.
In our negotiations with the UAE Government, the European Parliament must be concerned with the civil rights of the Emirati people. We must encourage the facilitation of the right to free expression, along with the right to a fair trial and access to unbiased legal aid. I encourage all of my colleagues to support this resolution."@en1
