6 on trial in UAE for aiding Yemen rebels

Six Arab defendants, including a Gulf citizen, are on trial in UAE on charges of providing the terrorist Houthi movement in Yemen with communication devices and equipment.

The State Security Division of the Federal Supreme Court today (Monday) heard from the public prosecutor who accused the defendants of supplying communication devices and chemical materials to the terrorist organisation in Yemen.

The public prosecutor charged the second defendant of managing funds owned by the organisation and investing them in a company he established in one of the UAE's emirates. The defendants denied the charges against them.

Judge Mohammed Al Jarah adjourned the case to  January 4, 2016.
