ABU DHABI – An Emirati court Tuesday sentenced a local man to three years in jail after he posted social media reports on the imprisonment of his father, convicted along with dozens of other Islamists.

A state security court convicted the defendant for “creating a page on a social network under his own name to spread false information and ideas, and to mock and damage the reputation and status of state institutions,” said the official news agency WAM.
