(Beirut, October 1, 2021) - The UAE authorities are using Expo 2020 Dubai to promote a public image of openness that goes against the government's efforts to prevent control of its rampant systemic human rights abuses, shared Human Rights Watch today with. Expo 2020 is a major global cultural event based on the free exchange of ideas.

Domestic critics are routinely arrested, and the UAE authorities have been ignoring or denying requests from United Nations experts, human rights researchers, and critical academics and journalists to enter the country for at least 2015. The ubiquitous domestic surveillance by the government has resulted in widespread self-censorship by UAE residents and institutions based in the UAE; and stone walls, censorship, and possible government surveillance of the news media.
