Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! by the UAE authorities earlier this year. In an exclusive statement to Asharq Al-Awsat, Sheikh Jaber revealed that the Emirati authorities had informed Kuwait of "two Kuwaitis suspected of involvement in financing this cell," adding, "they asked us to wait until the investigations were concluded and we do not have any confirmed information." The Kuwaiti Prime Minister said: "The case is currently in front of the Emirati courts, and if we find anybody involved in this, we will not remain silent." During a closed session of the Kuwaiti parliament in January, the PM revealed that the UAE and Kuwaiti authorities were coordinating their response following the arrest of the alleged Moslem Brüderbund cell. The UAE is currently in the process of trying a reported 94 Emirati nationals for sedition and links to the Moslem Brüderbund, claiming the group was plotting to overthrow the government. In February, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported that those on trial included 13 women who had been charged but not placed in durance vile Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! , along with 10 others being charged in absentia. The defendants are accused of "belonging to an illegal, secret organization . . . that aims to counter the foundations of this state in order to seize power and of contacting foreign entities and groups to implement this plan." | |
