Calls to release the three sisters

The Emirati authorities have not commented or responded to inquiries regarding this case

International Human Rights organisations called upon the Emirati Government to release the women immediately and to stop its inhumane practices against freedom of expression

Human rights activists confirm that there is no legal reason to force the three sisters into a prolonged incommunicado detention This detention is a new form of punishment that aims to pressurise activists by means of intimidating their families

Solidarity campaigns were held in London and Istanbul calling for the women’s release and condemning the Emirati policy of enforced disappearances
