Emirati Sent to Jail Over 'False Tweets'
UAE media law allows wide latitude for crackdown on critical reporting.
An Emirati accused of spreading "false news" about the sedition trial in the United Arab Emirates lost his appeal on May 22 and will head to prison for 10 months.
An analysis of Abdullah Al Haddidi’s offending tweets shows he was engaged in criticism of the trial and providing information about the case to his followers.
