This deportation was carried out in execution of a decision by the Lebanese Council of Ministers to extradite him to the UAE, based on a claim filed by the Emirati Public Prosecutor. This alarming legal precedent represents a flagrant misuse of international security agreements to settle political scores with dissidents. It reflects a troubling trend of exploiting international security cooperation as a tool to suppress fundamental freedoms and restrict individuals' right to express their opinions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The undersigned organizations call on the Emirati authorities to immediately disclose the location and conditions of Abdulrahman Youssef Al-Qaradawi\u2019s detention and to guarantee his right to communicate with his family and legal representation. We hold the Emirati authorities fully accountable for his physical and mental well-being and demand his immediate and unconditional release, allowing him to return safely to Turkey, where he resides and holds citizenship. Furthermore, we urge the Turkish authorities to take an urgent action and exert diplomatic pressure to uncover Abdulrahman\u2019s fate and secure his release promptly, especially given the UAE's notorious record of torturing and oppressing prisoners of conscience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdulrahman Youssef Al-Qaradawi was arrested by Lebanese authorities on December 28, 2024, upon his return from Syria, based on a complaint by the Emirati Public Prosecutor conveyed via the Lebanese Embassy in Abu Dhabi. The case stemmed from a video Abdulrahman had posted on his personal page and an alleged extradition request from Egyptian authorities. He was interrogated by the Lebanese Public Prosecutor regarding the UAE's claims. Subsequently, the Lebanese Council of Ministers, amid significant political calculations and collusion, hastily decided to extradite him to the UAE on January 8, 2025. Since then, all communication between Abdulrahman, his family, and his lawyer has been cut and\u00a0 Emirati authorities have not \u00a0 provided any information about his whereabouts, conditions of detention, or legal proceedings, if any exist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This incident adds to a series of practices that exacerbate the ongoing decline in respect for human rights in the region. International security cooperation is increasingly used as a cover for severe violations, leading to an expanded crackdown on political dissidents and defenders. These practices aim to intimidate human rights defenders and political opponents, wherever they may be. Moreover, such incidents pose a direct threat to the universal human rights system, as forced extradition and targeting of individuals beyond their home countries constitute blatant violations of international law and establish a dangerous precedent for transnational repression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Abdulrahman Youssef Al-Qaradawi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a poet, journalist, and media figure holding both Egyptian and Turkish citizenship, is known for his defense of freedom and democracy and his staunch opposition to authoritarian regimes. During the rule of former President Hosni Mubarak, he was one of the regime's most prominent critics, co-founding movements such as &#8220;Kefaya&#8221; and supporting leading political figures like Mohamed ElBaradei and Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh. His activism made him a target for persecution and fabricated charges.
