Rumaithi had been sentenced in absentia by the UAE’s Federal
Supreme Court in 2013 to 15 years in prison for charges related to the
establishment of a secret organization affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood,
aimed at opposing the fundamental principles of the UAE's system of government.
ExtraditionThe extradition of Rumaithi was conducted in compliance with
an arrest warrant issued against him and the agreements on legal and judicial
cooperation established by the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, which are
designed to apprehend criminals evading justice within Arab countries.
As per the Criminal Procedures Law in the UAE, Rumaithi will
face a retrial in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.
These provisions state that if an accused individual is
arrested after being sentenced in absentia or voluntarily surrenders, they must
be retried on the same charges they were originally convicted for.

safeguarding its security, sovereignty, and stability, as well as ensuring the
safety and security of its citizens and residents. It has reaffirmed its
determination to pursue individuals evading justice, prosecute them, and
