UAE JAILS 57 BANGLADESHIS AFTER PROTESTS AGAINST THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT ON UAE SOIL

In the United Arab Emirates, 57 Bangladeshi nationals have received substantial prison sentences for participating in protests against their government on UAE soil. According to state-run Wam news agency, three individuals were handed life sentences for “fomenting unrest across various streets in the UAE,” while 53 others were given 10-year terms and one received an 11-year sentence.

During the trial on Sunday, the defense lawyer, appointed by the court, argued that the protests lacked criminal intent and that the evidence was insufficient. Nevertheless, the court dismissed these claims and ruled that the convicted individuals be deported following the completion of their sentences.

Demonstrations are largely prohibited in the UAE, where expatriates constitute nearly 90% of the population, with Bangladeshis being the third-largest expatriate group.

This development comes amidst significant unrest in Bangladesh, where student-led protests against government job quotas have resulted in over 150 deaths and 500 arrests. Protest leaders have issued a 48-hour ultimatum demanding the end of a nationwide curfew and the restoration of internet services, along with the resignation of officials responsible for the violence. This wave of demonstrations represents one of the most formidable challenges to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year administration.

Wam reported that the trial revealed the Bangladeshi nationals had organized extensive marches protesting decisions by their home government, leading to riots, public security disruptions, and threats to public and private property. Despite police orders to disperse, the protesters continued their activities.

In a social media statement on Sunday, the Bangladeshi consulate in Dubai urged its citizens to abide by local laws. Amnesty International’s UAE researcher, Devin Kenney, noted that this was the second mass trial in the UAE within the month, resulting in substantial prison terms for numerous individuals on non-violent charges. Earlier, on July 10, a different UAE court issued life sentences to 43 human rights advocates and political dissidents accused of “creating a terrorist organization,” which human rights organizations have decried as a “mockery of justice.”

 

Some EXPAT children can now Attend UAE Public Schools

Non-Emirati students from specific categories can now apply for admission to UAE public schools for the upcoming academic year.

Eligible students from Grades 2 to 12 can enroll if they meet certain criteria. The Emirates Foundation for School Education has announced that GCC nationals, children of diplomats, holders of Emirati passports, holders of special decrees, and holders of Comoros passports can apply.

To qualify, a student’s parent must be employed by a government, semi-government, or local entity, and the student must achieve at least an 85 percent grade in Arabic, English, and Maths. Additionally, both the student and their parents must hold valid UAE residence visas. The number of non-citizen students admitted will be capped at 20 percent of the total student population in each classroom.

Regarding school fees, the UAE provides free education to UAE nationals, holders of UAE passports, GCC citizens, and children of those granted nationality by presidential or vice-presidential decree. Expat students are allowed to attend public schools by paying a tuition fee of Dhs6,000 and meeting the aforementioned conditions.

UAE Tourists to receive health insurance on arrival

Obtaining health insurance while visiting the UAE will soon be a simpler process.

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) has introduced a new system that allows tourists to secure health insurance at the same time they apply for their tourist visa. This integrated service will be available through the ICP’s website and app.

This update, announced on Monday, July 22, is designed to facilitate a smoother experience for visitors and to boost tourism by providing a more streamlined approach to managing both visa and insurance needs.

 

Major General Suhail Saeed Al Khaili, Director General of the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP), shared insights on the new project with Gulf News. He explained, “This initiative aims to simplify the process of obtaining health insurance by integrating it with the tourist visa application through an electronic platform at the national level.”

He continued, “The project’s goal is to support the UAE’s tourism sector by making it easier for global visitors to obtain health insurance in case of emergencies, aligning with the authority’s priorities and objectives.”

While the exact launch date for this new insurance feature has not yet been announced, the ICP has assured that the platform will oversee pricing from UAE insurance providers.
