Parliament adopted a resolution on the case of British national Ryan Cornelius, imprisoned in Dubai since 2008 after a disputed fraud conviction and a retroactive 20-year sentence extension. The resolution expresses deep concern over his continued arbitrary detention, citing violations of international law and inhumane treatment due to his deteriorating health. It calls on the EU's diplomatic service and the EU Special Representative for Human Rights to engage with UAE authorities to secure his immediate release, and urges the EU Delegation to monitor his conditions and provide consular assistance.
