UAE jails 57 Bangladeshis over protests against own government

Protests are effectively illegal in the UAE, where foreigners make up almost 90% of the population.



A court in the United Arab Emirates has handed 57 Bangladeshis long prison terms for holding protests in the Gulf state against their own country’s government.



Three of the unnamed defendants were sentenced to life for “inciting riots in several streets across the UAE on Friday”, while 53 others were jailed for 10 years and one for 11 years.
