Khaled Al-Shaiba Al-Nuaimi

Khaled Mohammed Abdullah Al-Shaiba Al-Nuaimi, born in 1951, is an Emirati national, from the Emirate of Sharjah. He holds a BA degree in economics and political science, and worked as director of the Social Guidance Association. He was arrested on 16 July 2012 due to his activism on social media and his calls for reform. He was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment, followed by three years’ probation. He served his sentence but he remains detained, and was therefore being arbitrarily detained beyond the completion of his prison sentence. In December 2023, Al-Nuaimi was among the 84 defendants charged in the widely-criticised “UAE84” case, which utilises fabricated terrorism charges in order to illegally extend the sentences of the accused, none of whom have committed any new offences.
