UAE: Naji Hamdan sentence set for 14 October

Alkarama has received news regarding the trial of Naji Hamdan that a sentence is to be given on 14 October 2009.

Alkarama is concerned by reports from the most recent hearing in his case, which took place on 14 September 2009, that the court is relying on confessions extracted under torture and that the prosecution has presented no reliable evidence.

Alkarama will provide further details about this case as it develops.
