Rumaithi’s case has attracted the concerns of various human rights activist groups like the Human Rights Watch and the Gulf Center for Human Rights stating that he was among the 94 critics of the government who had to go through unfair mass trials that led to the imprisonment of 69 people. A researcher at Human Rights Watch, Joey Shea said that the defendants of that case have been suffering in the Emirati prisons unjustly.

Human Rights Watch reported that Jordanian authorities detained Khalf Abd Al Rahman Rumaithi, aged 58, at Amman’s International Airport on the 7th of May, after his return from Turkey, where he had been staying in exile.

The United Arab Emirates government is adamant about maintaining the nation’s sovereignty and stability, and the safety and security of its residents.
