Brother of UAE president cleared in videoed torture case

Share:

A member of the ruling family of the United Arab Emirates has been cleared of the torture of a business associate.

Lawyers for Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the president’s brother, said the court ruled he had been drugged and so was “unaware of his actions”.

The incident came to light when a videotape was circulated showing the violent beating, said to have taken place in 2004. BBC
