The Arab League Statement
The Arab League has rejected the European Parliament’s (EP) report on human rights in the UAE, terming it as “prejudiced and inaccurate”.

It could be that the non-execution of the judgment awarded by both, the Court of First Instance and the Apex Court of Abu Dhabi and further, the deportation of the Judgment Creditor could be wrong actions on the part of corrupt officials at the subordinate level, without the will and knowledge of the appropriate top executives of a great nation, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
