In February 2015, three sisters from the United Arab Emirates, Asma, Mariam, and Alyaziyah Khalifa al-Suwaidi were detained incommunicado for nearly two weeks after their arrest by Emirati authorities. The sisters were campaigning for the release of their brother who was convicted for being part of Al Islah, which is an organization labeled as a terrorist organization in the UAE. According to Amnesty International, the three women are thought to have had no access to legal representation or their family.
