56 accused get 10 years in sedition case
In a landmark verdict on Tuesday, the Federal Supreme Court in Abu Dhabi sentenced the main 56 accused to ten years in prison, while five others received seven years in the sedition case involving 94 Emiratis.
Eight of the accused who were tried in absentia, were handed down sentences of 15 years each.
Twenty-five defendants, including 12 women, were cleared of charges of forming a clandestine organisation and plotting to overthrow the government. The fate of two of the accused is unclear.
A total of 94 dissidents were on trial on charges of forming an organisation with an aim to usurp power.
