DUBAI: Emirati Islamists on trial accused of plotting to seize power yesterday publicly appealed to the president to probe their alleged torture in custody and denied the charges. “For months, we have been locked in solitary confinement in cells flooded with bright light day and night. We were insulted, while some of us suffered physical torture,” they wrote. AFP
