The presidential pardon was issued by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for Egyptian poet and activist Abdelrahman Yousuf Al-Qaradawi, the son of the late Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. He was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison with a fine of 200,000 dirhams on charges related to electronic crimes.
