Three Bangladeshis sentenced to life imprisonment and 54 others to be deported after serving prison terms over riots and protests in the UAE, authorities said on Monday.
A group of Bangladeshi were arrested for gathering and inciting riots in several streets across the UAE on Friday against their home country’s government. Earlier, Chancellor Dr Hamad Saif Al Shamsi, UAE Attorney-General, ordered an immediate investigation and referred the suspects to an “urgent trial”.
On July 22, Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal pronounced the verdict and sentenced these expats for illegal gathering.
The protesters disrupted transportation and destroyed public and private property, the prosecution said in a statement released on Saturday.
