UAE pardons Qaradawi and cancels prison sentence
The Emirati President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, issued a presidential pardon for Abdulrahman Yusuf Al-Qaradawi and annulled a 10-year prison sentence against him. This comes after the Federal Abu Dhabi Court sentenced him in August 2026 to imprisonment and a fine of 200,000 dirhams. The decision followed his detention in Lebanon in 2024, at the request of the General Secretariat of the Arab Interior Ministers Council, based on allegations related to actions that raised security concerns, due to a video clip deemed offensive to Egypt and Gulf countries.
