PRISONS IN ABU DHABI
|
|
There are several prisons in Abu Dhabi and all are notorious for their human rights abuse,
stoning to death, lashings, overcrowding. Inmates often sleep in cells designed for
8 which hold up to 22 with
3 lice infested blankets on a cement floor. Many inmates are held for months at a time with no trial or contact with legal or family.
Your first stop as a prison in Abu Dhabi is the C.I.D. HQ in Abu Dhabi.
Unfortunately no prisoner can contact their loved once, once they are arrested and
relatives trying to contact their loved ones in the C.I.D are given
no information at all.
Many witnesses are also held in the C.I.D. HQ for a very long time.
Long term prisoners are kept in the ground floor. Women and children which includes
babies are in a separate block.1.
Our contact warns anyone searching for family members to take
special care otherwise they may get arrested as well.
