UAE launches smart system to combat human trafficking
Coinciding with World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, the system coordinates the efforts of relevant agencies and analyzes data to proactively monitor crimes, enhance response efficiency, and speed up procedures.
It also creates digital file for each victim from the moment the case is received, and provides the ability to accurately determine the victim's geographic location, and the exchange of information between authorities for rapid response.
The Minister of Justice and Chairman of the NCCHT, Abdullah Sultan bin Awad Al Nuaimi, also announced the launch of the National Anti-Human Trafficking Action Plan 2025–2027, which is based on an integrated approach focused on eliminating the root causes of trafficking, pursuing perpetrators, and ensuring that offenders do not escape justice, in line with the best international practices.
The strategy prioritises a comprehensive protection system for victims, encompassing care and rehabilitation, and seeks to expand collaboration with regional and international organizations and civil society.
The minister emphasised that the UAE places the fight against human trafficking at the forefront of its national priorities, guided by a humanitarian vision and in line with its commitments under relevant international conventions. He noted that the UAE has been proactive in this field since 2006, when it joined the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime.

Prominent opposition leader in Iraq's Kurdistan arrested by security forces
Security authorities in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq arrested late on Tuesday the prominent opposition leader Shaswar Abdulwahid, his New Generation Movement announced. The party claimed that security forces affiliated with the rival Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party of breaking into his home and arresting him 'without any legal process', it said in the statement, adding that his whereabouts is still unknown. 'A force affiliated to a party arrested the leader of the largest opposition group,' it added. 'This carries nothing but shame and disgrace,' it said. 'Neither Shaswar Abdulwahid nor the New Generation can be subdued, and we, Shaswar's comrades, will continue the path of justice and righteousness'. According to a judicial decree document dated August 3, Mr Abdulwahid has been sentenced to six months in absentia under Article 431 of the Iraqi Penal Code, which penalises threatening behaviour or attributing dishonourable matters. No more details were released on the charges. The New Generation Movement was established in 2017 as a liberal political party in Sulaymaniyah province. Since then it has emerged as a powerful opposition group which challenged the influential tradition parties PUK and its rival Kurdistan Democratic Party. It came third in October last year in Kurdistan's parliamentary elections after KDP and PUK, winning 15 seats in the 111-seat legislative body. Political wrangling between the rivals have derailed forming the new government in Kurdistan. In March 2019, Mr Abdulwahid appeared in court in Sulaymaniyah on charges of "assaulting state employees" and defamation after an altercation at the airport. He was arrested, held briefly, and released on bail. The New Generation party denounced the charges as politically motivated and accused the region's dominant parties of influencing the judiciary.
