Authorities in the UAE have ordered the arrest of 25 more individuals accused of spreading misleading and fabricated content online that could harm national defence efforts and fuel public panic. Officials say the suspects, who belong to different nationalities, will face an expedited trial after investigations revealed they used digital platforms to circulate manipulated footage and narratives linked to ongoing regional tensions.
UAE Attorney-General Dr Hamad Saif Al Shamsi issued the arrest order after authorities carried out extensive monitoring of online platforms to track the spread of false or manipulated content. According to officials, the monitoring effort aims to curb fabricated information and artificial media designed to incite unrest and undermine public stability.
