Written answers

I am aware of the case to which the Deputy refers, and the reports are a cause for serious concern.

We note that the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has raised the case with the UAE authorities and has requested more information and clarification on the current situation. We fully support the High Commissioner’s intervention and look forward to a full and early response from the UAE to the request.
