Arrested for blogging in UAE

"The trial of five bloggers who called for democratic reforms in the United Arab Emirates is set to resume on Monday.  Ahmed Mansoor, Nasser bin Ghaith, Fahad Salim Dalk, Ahmed Abdul Khaleq and Hassan Ali al-Khamis stand accused of "publicly insulting" top officials in the UAE after being arrested in April.
On Sunday, four international human rights groups - Amnesty International, the Arabic Network or Human Rights Information (ANHRI), Front Line Defenders, and Human Rights Watch (HRW) - released a statement condemning the trial of the five activists and called for their release.  "UAE authorities should drop charges against five activists arrested after they called for democratic reforms," the statement read."
