Extracts from the Human Rights Watch report on the UAE. File under 'reasons why Pep is a hypocrite, and all Man City's success is meaningless'.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) continued in 2015 to arbitrarily detain and in some cases forcibly disappear individuals who criticized the authorities, and its security forces continued to face allegations that they torture detainees in pretrial detention. The UAE passed an anti-discrimination law that further jeopardizes free speech and is discriminatory in that it excludes references to gender and sexuality. Authorities denied access to the country to activists who criticized the UAE’s mistreatment of migrant workers.
People who speak with rights groups remained at serious risk of arbitrary detention and imprisonment. The 2014 counterterrorism law provides for the death penalty for people whose activities are found to “undermine national unity or social peace,” even if these acts do not include an element of violence or intended violence.
In May, local media reported that the Federal Supreme Court sentenced a UAE national, Ahmed Abdulla al-Wahdi, to 10 years in prison for “creating and running a social media account that insults the UAE’s leadership and the country’s institutions.”
Foreigners account for more than 88.5 percent of UAE residents, according to 2011 government statistics, but despite labor reforms, low-paid migrant workers continue to be subjected to abuses that amount to forced labor. Domestic workers are particularly vulnerable to abuse since they do not enjoy even the minimal protection afforded by UAE labor law.
Domestic violence is permitted under UAE law. Article 53 of the UAE's penal code allows the imposition of “chastisement by a husband to his wife and the chastisement of minor children” so long as the assault does not exceed the limits prescribed by Sharia, or Islamic law.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) often uses its affluence to mask the government’s serious human rights problems.

Spot on. How Pep can wear that yellow ribbon with a straight face is beyond me.

I loved Kyle but there is a side of me that thinks it's funny too. Fair play to lad for winning the league and league cup but costing your team the FA cup and a a brainfart in a big Champions league game. Typical Walker. He was getting battered on every forum tonight
legends.
I actually think Guardiola started the bottling by not starting Sterling. Just because the player struggled there in the past it looked like he’d dropped him for that reason. Psychologically that looked pretty weak to me. Play your best players if you can, whatever.
