A UAE court has sentenced “a group composed of Arabs and Canadians” to six months in prison after being convicted of having links to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
WAM news agency said those sentenced Monday later would be deported. It did not name those sentenced or say how many there were.
The Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi referred questions to Global Affairs Canada, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Lebanese officials and Hezbollah offered no comment.
The Gulf-wide move against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah comes after Iranian protesters stormed Saudi diplomatic missions in Mashhad and Tehran.
