Two Emirati sisters have stood trial at the Federal Supreme Court for joining Al Qaeda and Daesh terror groups. They are said to have made contacts with elements from both the terror groups, that are operating in the UAE under bogus names and identities.
During the court session on Monday, the top court received the medical report of one of the suspects after she was referred to a specialist medical committee.
The two suspects, A.A.M.A, 39, and A.A.M.A, 43, have been accused of smuggling money and tools used for military and security purposes to convey encrypted messages and information to members of the terror groups in Syria and Iraq by agents, who were working secretly in the UAE.
The prosecution arraigned them also for establishing and creating a social media account on Facebook and Twitter in order to facilitate the transfer and exchange of information amongst individuals of the organisation, working secretly in the country.
Having received the medical report submitted by Al Mafraq hospital in Abu Dhabi, the judge confronted the first suspect A.A.M.A, 39, and read out a part of the report, which showed that the suspect suffers from a benign tumor in her chest, which could be removed before it spreads to other parts of the body and turns malignant.
The report said that the patient refused to take the medicine and went on a hunger strike. Rather, she tried to commit suicide using the shackle that tried her up with the bed in the hospital.
The report showed that the patient has a benign tumour in one of her breast, which has not yet spread to the other parts of her body. But, the tumour can spread if it is not surgically removed.
The suspect denied having tried to commit suicide, but confessed she refused to take medication and went on hunger strike.
She said that she was protesting for being remanded in the Al Wathba jail and had requested to be moved to another place. She said she will not take medication unless a ruling on the same was pronounced.
The highest court then deferred the case to December 12 based on a request by the attorney of the suspect so he could give his final defense in the case.
