U.N. says UAE activist Mansoor's prison conditions "may constitute torture"DUBAI - Prominent United Arab Emirates pro-democracy campaigner Ahmed Mansoor may be suffering treatment amounting to torture, including prolonged solitary confinement, U.N. human rights experts said on Tuesday.
Independent U.N. rights experts said they were “gravely concerned” for Mansoor’s physical well-being and urged UAE authorities to give him adequate medical care, ensure detention conditions meet minimum U.N. standards and either offer him a retrial or release him. GC4HR, based outside the UAE, says his family has not been able to visit regularly to check on his health or strike status.
