A UAE court on Wednesday sentenced three people to up to five years in prison after convicting them of belonging to a "terrorist organisation," state media said. The Abu Dhabi-based Federal Supreme Court handed two Emiratis jail terms ranging from one to five years, the official news agency WAM said.
A third defendant from an unnamed Arab country was sentenced to three years, after which he will be deported, it said, without giving details of the organisation to which they were alleged to belong. News website 24.ae said the trio formed a "terror cell for Al-Nusra Front," the former Syrian affiliate of al-Qaeda that renamed itself Fateh al-Sham Front last year.
