Poet death probe urged
The organization Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN) called on UN experts to open an independent investigation into the 2019 death of Emirati poet Habib Al Sayegh, following allegations in a recent book that he was tortured and killed while in detention. The organization said it had not independently verified these claims. On August 11, 2019, Al Sayegh published an article describing Israel as a “real and natural enemy” and criticizing normalization. His death was announced nine days later, without a cause being specified. The organization called on the UAE to provide his death certificate and detention records, and to allow his family and an independent forensic expert to verify the location and condition of his grave.
