UAE Critic Remains in Detention One Year On

Original: United Arab Emirates: A Year On, Critic Remains in Detention

A government critic in the United Arab Emirates has now spent a full year in detention without release, according to Human Rights Watch. The rights group is calling attention to the case, arguing the continued detention reflects broader restrictions on free expression in the country and urging Emirati authorities to release the individual and respect freedom of speech.

Why now: Human Rights Watch marked the one-year anniversary of the detention, renewing calls for the critic's release.
