Four witnesses gave their testimonies in the Federal Supreme Court on Sunday against 15 men accused of joining and funding terrorist organisations Al Nusra Front and Ahrar Al Sham Brigade affiliated to Al Qaeda.
The first witness, A.K., an investigator, testified to finding electronic devices at the house of accused A.B. in Al Ramaqia area in Sharjah.
“My team and I found a mobile phone, a laptop and several SIM cards. We also found external memory drives (USB flash devices) and mobile phone memory cards,” the investigator said.
He said the objects were found in the living room and bedroom of the house. He did not give details about the contents of the devices.
Two other witnesses — also investigators — gave similar testimonies about the recovery of CDs, flash drives, SIM cards and computers from the houses of the accused.
The third witness testified to finding a gun at the house of Emirati defendant A.B. at his house in Sharjah.
Witness A.A., an electronic device investigator, testified that the contents of the seized electronic devices had pictures, video clips and conversations on several social networking applications.
All four witnesses assured the judge that due procedure had been followed during investigations. They also assured the court that the evidence cannot be tampered with. One of the lawyers of the accused requested bail for his clients claiming that there is no “clear evidence” against them.
Presiding Judge Mohammed Al Jarrah Al Tinaiji adjourned the case to September 30, when the court will hear the testimony of the fifth witness.
Eleven of the 15 accused men appeared before the court on Sunday and 18 male family members attended the hearing, in addition to journalists and human rights representatives.
In the previous hearing, the court was furnished with the laboratory technical report, containing electronic evidence including mobile phones and computers of the accused which had files, images and information.
