On July 19 , groups of mostly Bangladeshi citizens who live in the UAE carried out peaceful solidarity protests in multiple locations across the country to stand with student protesters in Bangladesh .
On July 20 , the UAE ’s attorney general announced an investigation into the protests and, just one day later, the Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeal announced the conviction and handed down sentences for all 57 defendants.
The sentences range from 10 years to life in prison, raising serious concerns about fairness and due process.
Three of the videos verified by Human Rights Watch have since been deleted or made private.
The UAE relies heavily on over a million migrant workers from Bangladesh , the third highest share of the foreign population.
Migrant workers in the UAE experience serious labor abuses like wage theft, exorbitant recruitment fees, restrictions on job mobility, and passport confiscation.
