International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations (IIFSO) Statement

An urgent appeal regarding the withdrawal of nationalities of some UAE reforming scholars and preachers

We, in the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations (IIFSO), received with great dismay and concern the media reports about the withdrawal of national citizenships from a number of Emirati public figures, scholars, preachers and reform advocates by the government of the United Arab Emirates.
We then shared a thought with many observers that there is something wrong either in the news itself or a hasty bureaucratic action by state employees has been already taken and would be corrected soon. We, and some human rights organizations and freemen worldwide, waited a formal denial to the news or that bureaucratic error being corrected, but nothing happened until the release of this statement and therefore we direct this letter to the following:

The Gulf Centre for Human Rights Statement

Sawaseya Centre for Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Statement





Sawaseya: Nationality Withdrawal from 6 UAE Citizens Contravenes Global Conventions and Treaties

Sawaseya Centre for Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination expresses its deep surprise regarding the extreme decision of the UAE authorities to strip 6 Emirati citizens from their national citizenships. Those men are as follows: Hussein Munif Abdullah Hassan Al Jabri, Hassan Munif Abdullah Hassan Al Jabri, Ibrahim Hassan Ali Hassan Al Marzouqi, Shaheen Abdullah Mal-Allah Haidar Al Hosni , Ali Hussein Ahmed Ali Al Hammadi, and Mohamed Abdul-Raziq Mohammad Siddiq Al-Obaidli. The UAE government claimed that they represent a threat to the national security, as well as accusing them of having close links to regional and international organizations and figures who are included in the UN lists of Combating the Financing of Terrorism; punishing activists demanding political reform in their country in this way is considered as a rare and never-witnessed step in the Arab world for five decades ago.

Friends of Humanity International Organization Statement





Withdrawing Citizenship from UAE citizens…
a big violation to be repealed

The government of the United Arab Emirates has withdrawn the citizenships of six Emirati citizens who are public figures in their homeland striving for better reforms. Depriving these citizens from their civil rights of citizenship is being considered an unprecedented step and an aggressive violation to the UAE commitments in the domain of human rights.   
Since Friends of Humanity International Organization totally condemns this decision, it confirms that such decision is unauthorized or legalized locally or globally as it contradicts with the commitments of human and civil rights that can never been justified.

The "Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe" Statement





Withdrawal of the citizenship of UAE figures…
a surprising step requires revisit

The "Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe" received with great surprise the reports around the withdrawal of citizenship of six public figures in the United Arab Emirates.
We were actually shocked because these public figures are known with good reputation, eminent social status and high respect within the UAE and abroad. Those men are symbols of the rising UAE society, and from the Emirati intellectual elite whose national and humanitarian positions are indisputable along with their prominence in scientific, academic and educational aspects and in social service as a whole that is already decided. Those pioneers, have been actually known within the ranks of the best delegates for the UAE and its people wherever they in the world, due to their cultural and social appearances.

The Arab Youth Association in Europe Statement

H.E. The Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to Britain, Mr. Abdul-Rahman Ghanem Al Mutaiwee….

    The Arab Youth Association in Europe Would like to express its deep regret and concern regarding the decisions taken by Your government which are all contrary to entire global norms and conventions that preserve human right of expression and calling for reform as well as protect the right of citizenship and work and keeping all of these rights untouched or being threaten..

The Second statement of UAE'S 7 citizens




In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Beneficent

Praise be to Allah and prayers and peace be upon the best of God's creations, our Prophet Muhammad, along with his family and righteous companions. And then:

We, Emirati advocates of reform who have been deprived of their nationalities, face now false charges and fabricated accusations, attributed to an official source in the General Department of Citizenship, Residency and Ports, accuses us of threatening the national security of our nation and engagement with suspicious regional and international organizations and figures, as well as alleging some of us are linked to organizations and associations enrolled on the UN lists of Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT). These false accusations against us are pure fabrications we redundantly heard from the corrupt security services agents and unfaithful prosecutors everywhere in the countries of tyranny and dictatorship which have been all thrown into the dustbin of history. There is no doubt that these accusations added more credibility to what we have mentioned in our previous statement regarding the unfairness of these charges which have been denounced by all legal and human rights institutions, international and regional organizations and the dignitaries at home and abroad in the last few days. This is because we are just advocates of reform belonging to the Association of Reform & Social Guidance in this beloved country, in addition to demanding reform of the legislative authority of the state's poor Advisory-Legislative body, which is not commensurate with the level of cultural, scientific and mental level of our compatriots and the historic march of our country nor suits the Arab and Gulf environments.

The First statement of UAE'S 7 citizens

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Beneficent

Praise be to Allah and prayers and peace be upon the best of God's creations, our Prophet Muhammad, along with his family and righteous companions. And then:

We, the signatories of this statement, have been exposed to inequitable and illegal procedure that is contrary to the essential human rights as well as the state's constitution and legislations, which is the withdrawal of our nationalities. Actually, the common factor between all of us is our affiliation as reformists to the Association of Reform & Social Guidance whose board of directors has been dissolved and, as a reaction, a case has been filed for lifting the ban imposed on it; the procedures of litigation are still underway. In addition to this, some of the undersigned have signed on a petition submitted to the president of the state demands reformative procedures in the legislative authority so as to prepare the climate for a wholesome parliamentary election which brings about a parliament with full authorities later on.
