After tweeting criticism of the governments of Egypt and the UAE, Dr. bin Ghaith was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment in 2017. During his closed-door trial, the judge allegedly turned off his microphone to mute his claims of torture. His health has deteriorated in prison. In December 2023, he was retried on new terrorism charges and sentenced to an additional 15 years in harsh prison conditions.
