London - The lawyers of Egyptian poets and activists have allegedly been detained for not guilty and detained for more than 100 days in the United Arab Emirates, and have posed legal challenges to UAE authorities in the UK.

The document was proposed on behalf of Abdulrahman al-Qaradawi, an outspoken critic of the Egyptian government who has been living in Türkiye. It urged London's Metropolitan Police to investigate criminal investigations on activists' alleged kidnapping, torture and extradition of the UAE.

Al-Qaradawi was detained in Lebanon on December 28 when she returned from Syria. He reportedly visited Syria to attend the celebration after President Bashar Assad fell in a lightning insurgency attack.

His lawyers said Lebanon's cabinet deported him to the United Arab Emirates on January 8. Since then, he has been detained alone, “innocence, improper procedure, under psychological pressure.”

"Abdulrahman was taken from his family, forcibly evacuated from the border and sent to solitary confinement in a country where he was not a citizen, with no evidence that he committed any crime," said Rodney Dixon, his attorney. "This is not extradition; kidnapping in sight is kidnapped."

Dixon urged British police to investigate under the UK's universal jurisdiction law, which allows the government to target the most serious crime prosecutors, regardless of where they are suspected of committing it.

The complaint said the UAE Ministry of Interior and former Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati approved the extradition of activists from Lebanon to the UAE, while Royel Jet LLC provides private jets for extradition as the head.

All have business or other connections with the UK and may be arrested and prosecuted if they travel to the UK.

“What we hope is that based on the evidence we have, the Metropolitan Police will start investigating these people and entities and then seek a warrant for arrest,” Dixon said.

Qaradawi's late father Youssef Al-Qaradawi is a senior and controversial Egyptian clergy who is respected by the well-known Muslim Brotherhood.

Abdulrahman al-Qaradawi, wanted for spreading false news and inciting violence, was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison for absenteeism.

The UN Special Rapporteur expressed concern about the Qaradawi case, and dozens of rights groups have written to UAE authorities calling for information on his whereabouts and his immediate release.

Amnesty International has said that during a visit to Damascus in December, Qaradawi photographed itself criticizing the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egyptian authorities. The rights panel said the video may have triggered his arrest.

A spokesman for Mikati said in a statement that this was not his personal decision to extradite activists and that the Lebanese ministerial committee has followed due process and decided to approve his transfer to the UAE.

The UAE government did not respond to a request for comment.
