Federal Supreme Court issues ruling on Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood case

The State Security Department of the Federal Supreme Court on Monday sentenced two Arab nationals to three years and six months in prison for running an international group affiliated with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the UAE, without a license from the government, and for cooperating with the secret organisation before it was dissolved.

In four other cases, the court ordered that three Emiratis are to be referred to an advisory council, put under probation and banned from travel for six months on a count of posing a terrorist threat.

Defendant M.M. was acquitted of the same count.

The court also heard a number of state security cases.

A number of the relatives of the defendants and representatives of the media were in attendance.
