Arested on 17 July 2012, @DrAlRoken is currently imprisoned as part of what has become known as the #UAE94 case. While in detention, he has been denied several of his basic rights including access to his lawyer and subjected to psychological intimidation! #FreeAlRoken NOW!

We have yet to receive a copy of the case file. The Abu Dhabi government is deliberately withholding the allegations and evidence in the #UAE_84 case because it lacks the legal grounds for conviction, and the entire case is rooted in violations.

Rights sources confirmed that the #UAE84 detainees were subjected to prolonged solitary confinement for more than a year, as well as severe torture, before being brought to the second-largest mass trial in the country.

▶️ VIDEO: Leading #humanrights lawyer Mohamed Al-Roken has been at the forefront of providing legal assistance to victims of human rights abuses in the #UAE, including to fellow human rights defenders. In July 2012, a major round-up of human rights defenders and critics of the government took place, including Mohamed Al-Roken. He and the others detained became known as the #UAE94 and were accused of plotting to overthrow the government. On 2 July 2013, the Federal Supreme Court convicted and sentenced Mohamed Al-Roken to 10 years in prison. 🟠 After serving his 10-year prison term, he was not released but sentenced to life in a new unfair trial known as #UAE84

Instead of releasing them, the #UAE authorities sentenced 43 prisoners of conscience to life in jail, while a further 10 received prison terms of 10 to 15 years. #UAE84

Following closely the expected verdict in tomorrow’s new trial of detained #UAE HRDs Mohamed al-Roken, Hadif Rashed Abdullah al-Owais & Salim Hamdoon al-Shahhi, who should have been freed nearly 2 yrs ago. I strongly urge the authorities to drop the charges&free them @UAEUNGENEVA
Appalled to hear of new terrorism charges against detained #UAE HRDs Mohamed Al-Roken, Salim Hamdoon al-Shahhi & Hadif Rashed al-Owais, whose sentences expired over a yr ago & are held in poor conditions with no family contact. The UAE cannot parade itself as a defender of rights
