UN human rights experts are calling on the United Arab Emirates to immediately release 72-year-old British businessman Ryan Cornelius. Cornelius was initially imprisoned in 2008 following a financing disagreement and served a ten-year sentence, completing it in 2018. However, his imprisonment was unexpectedly extended by an additional twenty years due to an alleged outstanding debt. The UN experts have declared the continued detention arbitrary and a violation of international human rights law. They emphasize the need for a fair and transparent review of his case, considering the length of time he has already been detained. This case raises concerns about due process and the legal system within the UAE, according to the experts' statement. They urge authorities to resolve the financial dispute fairly and allow Cornelius to return home.
