UAE top court reconvicts 24 to life in prison in terror case
The Criminal Chamber of the Federal Supreme Court has overturned a previous ruling and reconvicted 24 individuals with links to the "Justice and Dignity Committee" terror group with life sentences. Following an appeal, the court charged the defendants for collaborating with the 'Justice and Dignity' terror group and for financing the Al-Islah terror organisation. The court also ordered the confiscation of all funds and items linked to these crimes. The previous verdict by State Security Chamber at the Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal had dropped the criminal charges against the 24 defendants. In his appeal, Attorney General Chancellor Dr. Hamad Saif Al Shamsi explained that the lower court had overlooked the defendants involvement in financing and collaborating with the "Jusitice and Dignity" terror group. On July 10, the Abu Dhabi Federal Appeals Court convicted 53 defendants linked to the 'Justice and Dignity Committee' terrorist organisation. Forty-three of them were sentenced to life in prison and five were handed 15-year jail terms, while five others were sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined AED 10 million. The court also imposed a fine of AED 20 million each on six companies that were convicted of money laundering to support a terrorist organisation. These firms have been ordered to close and all their assets will be confiscated. One defendant was acquitted.

Tajik officers hail UAE model for international police leadership
27 June 2025 20:12 DUBAI (ALETIHAD)Two police officers from the National Central Bureau of Interpol, Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Tajikistan, Lieutenant Colonel Mirahror Soliev and Lieutenant Colonel Saidov Kosim Abdukosimovich, have praised the UAE's forward-thinking policing model including the high standards of the Police Innovation and International Leadership (PIL) programme recently hosted in Dubai. Lieutenant Colonel Soliev, an experienced officer with a background in international coordination and UN missions, highlighted the exceptional organisation of the programme. 'Bringing together participants from 39 countries and delivering a seamless experience is a major achievement. It extends beyond the well-thought-out curriculum to encompass the complete structure, logistics, accommodation, and daily support. Even the smallest aspects were handled with professionalism that reflects Dubai's commitment to excellence.'Soliev also commended the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and drone patrol systems in Dubai Police's operations. He expressed particular interest in the 'Drone Box ' system, which he sees as highly adaptable for Tajikistan's terrain and security needs. 'This approach allows for faster response times and efficient resource allocation. It's a model we should study and consider applying at home.'Beyond the technical aspects, Soliev also highlighted the value of international networking. 'This has been a valuable opportunity to build real friendships and lasting professional connections. By the end, we felt like one family, united by a shared mission and mutual respect.'He also commended Dubai Police's strong commitment to consolidating international cooperation. 'The leadership has created a global platform that fosters real dialogue and exchange between nations. The programme demonstrated how policing innovation when shared openly, can serve as a bridge between diverse security cultures. Dubai Police has positioned itself as a hub for international collaboration.'Lieutenant Colonel Saidov Kosim Abdukosimovich, who also represented Tajikistan in the programme, echoed these sentiments, noting the rich exposure to advanced policing strategies and leadership frameworks. 'The practical field modules, especially those related to tactical operations and scenario-based training, were extremely beneficial,' he said. 'Additionally, the focus on leadership values, mental resilience, and physical fitness made this programme stand out.'Kosim praised Dubai Police's Positive Spirit Council for embedding community engagement and emotional intelligence into their organisational culture. 'The Positive Spirit initiatives are a powerful example of how policing can extend beyond enforcement to uplift communities and foster harmony. This holistic approach left a deep impression on me.'He added that staying physically fit and mentally balanced is critical in law enforcement roles. 'Activities such as team sports and guided fitness sessions reminded us of the importance of overall well-being in leadership and decision-making.' Both officers extended their sincere appreciation to the Government of Tajikistan and their ministry for supporting their participation in this international initiative. 'It's through visionary Tajikistan's leadership that we are able to engage in programmes like this and return equipped with knowledge that can make a real impact,' Kosim said.
