Death of Lebanese man in UAE custody sparks mistreatment concerns

A Lebanese man, Ghazi Ezzedine, who was detained in the UAE on unknown charges, has died in custody, raising questions about his possible mistreatment by authorities. His family alleges that he died under torture. UAE authorities denied the family's request to bring him back to Lebanon for burial. Amnesty International is concerned about the lack of transparency regarding Ezzedine's case and the linked detentions. The UAE has detained dozens of Lebanese, mostly Shiites, in the past over alleged links to Iran-backed Hezbollah.
