Knowing law of the land
The Khaleej Times

The Constitution of the UAE guarantee for an independent judiciary, although the functions and verdicts of the Courts are frequently thwarted with impunity by the executive time and again. The Judicial decisions have always been subject to review by the political leadership.

As a matter of fact, civilized nations do provide in their constitution powers to Executive for grant of pardons etc., in case of conviction by the Courts.

But unfortunately under the UAE system the Executive without an implied or express power would interfere even in a clear case of acquittal by the Courts there, leading in unlawful punishments etc.

UAE abhors all forms of racism and discrimination
The Khaleej Times

The UAE Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Auqaf Mohammed bin Nakhira Al Dhaheri reiterated at the UN Conference on Racism and Discrimination held at Durban, South Africa, September 2nd 2001, that the UAE abhors all form of discrimination and racism. He stressed that the UAE constitution guaranteed legal equality for all citizens and non-citizens irrespective of their color, race or creed.

Such declarations at important world meetings on human rights by the UAE Minister for Law gives a global impression that the millions of expatriates who toil day and night to make a living and support their families in their home land, enjoy legal and civil liberties. There are innumerable innocent foreign citizens languishing in the UAE prisons who have been denied of their basic rights and have been framed by forcible confession or an unjust trial.

UAE has a poor and deplorable human rights records especially in their dealing with Asians and foreign citizens from developing nations. With such a background history, the speech delivered by the Minister has no material significance and therefore has to be rejected merely as false propaganda.

Press Report2000 women among pardoned prisoners
The Khaleej Times

The reported release of 6500 prisoners, which includes citizens and expatriates by an amnesty granted by the President of the UAE, H.H Sheikh Zayed Al Nahyan in June 2001 may seem to many and to the U.S State department as a step in the right direction.

The UAE prison authorities claim that the Amnesty represented 65 per cent of the total number of prisoners in the country. Although this is an official figure, looking at the mystical legal system and the frequent violations of Human Rights the prisoners, there may be many more rotting in these prisons who have lost their mental balance and the ability to lead a normal life once they are released.

The appalling conditions in the UAE jails and the treatment given to the Third World citizens by the prison authorities exposes a higher incidence of "Post Dramatic Stress Disorder" symptoms to the former inmates of the UAE jails. One may find it very distressing to note that a majority of these 6500 prisoners released by this amnesty may never lead a normal life again, haunted by their brute treatment in these jails.

Universally it is an accepted fact that a Prison or a reformatory center serves to mould the troubled citizens to lead a civilized and responsible life in Society.

Prisons all around the world famous including the famous Alcatraz prison (now closed) in the USA have better conditions, reformatory programs and schemes given to their inmates.

From the horrid experiences of the ex-inmates of the UAE prisons and their accounts, we can conclude that Prisons in the UAE are like the death camps setup by the Nazis during the IInd World War.
