Abu Dhabi Criminal Court convicts woman for invading privacy of book fair attendee
The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court has sentenced an Arab woman accused of broadcasting a live video on a social media platform, arousing public opinion, invading privacy and verbally assaulting a participant at a recent book fair held in the country.
The court has sentenced the offender to six months imprisonment and a fine of AED50,000 for invading the victim’s privacy. As part of the conviction, all photos and recordings related to the incident will be deleted, the device used will be confiscated, and her Twitter account will be permanently closed. Additionally, she has been fined AED10,000 for the offence of insult.
The court granted a stay of execution of the prison sentence for three years from the date on which the judgment becomes final and her expulsion from the country once the sentence has been served.
The Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution took the necessary legal measures in the case after the video was posted and picked up on several social media platforms, showing the accused verbally assaulting the victim and challenging his presence at public events due to a previous conviction handed down against him in a case abroad.
Following the investigation, the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecution indicted the woman in its decision to refer the matter to the competent criminal court on charges of arousing public opinion, invasion of privacy on social media networks, insult, and defamation, and requested her punishment in accordance with the articles of Federal Decree-Law No. 34 of 2021 on Combating Rumours and Cybercrime.

Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre opens nominations for Golden Narrative Award
The Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre (ALC), part of the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), has opened nominations for the first edition of its Golden Narrative (Sard Al Thahab) Award, which honours notable works of Arab prose by local and international creative minds.
The Award aims to shed light on Emirati folk tales and narratives, highlighting inspiring works in this field and celebrating the talented narrators who, through this art form, have helped to preserve the UAE’s history, lifestyle, and popular heritage over the decades. It derives its name from a poem by the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and seeks to drive an artistic movement that builds on Zayed’s legacy of creativity.
The Award is accepting submissions across six categories. The Short Story Prize for Unpublished Stories honours and publishes unpublished works by talented authors; the Short Story Collection Prize for Published Stories recognises published stories that draw inspiration from the nation’s heritage; the Popular Narratives Prize honours collections of popular folktales that build collective memory and contribute to cultural identity, or notable studies that analyse these tales; while the Narrators Prize celebrates narrators of popular literature and biographies from the UAE and the wider Arab world, who recite these works orally.
The categories also include the Illustrated Story Prize, which honours narratives that rely on images in their structure, blending narration and graphic arts, and the Emirati Storytelling Prize, recognising literary works in Arabic and other languages that explore Emirati identity and are inspired by the UAE’s history, geography, and other values.
Abdulla Majed Al Ali, Chairman of the Golden Narrative Award’s Higher Committee and Director-General of the National Library and Archives, said, “Inspired by the creative journey of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and his efforts to nurture cultural consciousness and artistic expression in the UAE community, the Award aims to showcase these works of collective memory and strengthen our national identity.”
Individuals, literary unions, cultural institutions and universities can submit work to one of the six categories. Nominations for the Emirati Narratives category must come from academic, research, and cultural institutions and from the Higher Committee of the Award.
The criteria for nominations include the candidate’s contribution to building Emirati narratives through creative or research work that explores various aspects of the history and present of the UAE.
Nominees can apply to a category with one work only as long as said work has not been nominated for another award in the same year. Nominated works must be written in Arabic, except for the Emirati Narratives category, where entries in other languages are accepted. The narrative and research works may be published no more than five years ago or unpublished.
The Award is not open to works that have previously won a major Arab or international award. It is possible to re-nominate a work after fulfilling the criteria relating to the set timeframe.
Applicants must choose the category that best suits their work and fill out the Nomination Form that can be obtained through the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre’s website (

Sultan Alneyadi advances cardiovascular research with PCG experiment in space
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), in partnership with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), today announced the beginning of the innovative Protein Crystal Growth Experiment (PCG) on board the Kibo module on the International Space Station by astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi.
The experiment was launched on the recent Space X-28 cargo mission and was installed by AlNeyadi on 7th June 2023, marking a crucial milestone in the enduring UAE-Japan collaboration.
Adnan AlRais, Manager of UAE Astronaut Programme, said, “This initiative represents a significant achievement in UAE’s contribution to global space science. It underscores our commitment to strengthening international scientific partnerships and propelling our understanding of complex biological systems for the betterment of humanity.”
The experiment theme was proposed by a research team from the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU) in the UAE in collaboration with the Harvard Medical School in the USA and in compliance with a collaborative agreement between the UAE Space Agency, MBRSC and JAXA.
The PCG experiment is focused on the protein molecule GIRK2 (G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium). This molecule is instrumental in controlling heart rate and has connections with several serious conditions, including epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmias, and addiction. The objective of developing high-quality crystals of GIRK2 is to enhance our comprehension of its structure. This knowledge will be invaluable in guiding the creation of treatments targeted at conditions influenced by this molecule.
AlNeyadi played a pivotal role in the experiment by installing the PCG samples into JAXA’s experimental equipment in Kibo. This phase required precision and expertise to ensure the viability of the samples for the duration of the experiment.
After approximately one month aboard the ISS, the experiment will reach its next stage. The sample will return to Earth for X-ray diffraction data collection in Japan. This data will then be provided to the UAE research team for further analysis, continuing the cycle of international collaboration.
Over the past three months, AlNeyadi, along with his Expedition 69 crew members, have made significant strides in microgravity research, featuring a range of pioneering scientific investigations, including on cardiovascular system, plant biology, material science, fluid science and sleep analysis, among others.
The UAE Astronaut Programme is one of the projects managed by MBRSC under the UAE’s National Space Programme and funded by the ICT Fund of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), which aims to support research and development in the ICT sector in the UAE and promote the country’s integration on the global stage.
