Amnesty International has called on authorities in the United Arab Emirates to release a group of dissidents who the human rights group said had completed prison terms earlier this year but not yet been freed.
Amnesty said in a statement on Monday that the 10 men were arrested in 2012 as part of the "UAE94", a group of 94 lawyers, human rights defenders and academics sentenced to 10 years in jail in 2013 for plotting to overthrow the government.
The men were due to be released in March and April but continue to be held for "counter-extremism counselling", Amnesty said, citing Emirati exiles and prisoners' family members.
