According to the President’s order he issued on 4th December 2011, the citizenship will be revoked from the following:
1/Hussein Munif Abdullah Hassan Al Jabri (granted the UAE nationality by naturalisation on 24/05/ 1976);

6/ Mohammed Abdul Raziq Mohammed Al Sidiq Al Abeidli (granted the UAE nationality by naturalisation on 19/07/ 1976).
The source explained that the concerned authorities had granted those persons, who were originally carried the nationality of other countries, the UAE citizenship by naturalisation.
He added that those persons had perpetrated over the past years acts threatening the national security of the UAE through their connection with suspicious regional and international organisations and personalities.
