(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM))
ABU DHABI, 18th August, 2017 (WAM) -- Doha has become a training hub to undermine the UAE's security and stability, revealed a new episode of a popular documentary that was broadcast today by local television channels.
The 30-minute episode of the hit documentary, "Qatar's terrorism support files," featured the confessions of Isa Khalifa Al Suwaidi, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was a senior member of the organisation's "Majlis Shura Al Jama'a," or the advisory board.
Al Suwaidi spoke in detail about Doha's support for questionable organisations with direct and indirect links to international groups that are active in training youths, including Emiratis, to destabilise security in their respective countries.
The documentary also showed a video of a fugitive Emirati member of the secret organisation while addressing a training course to incite the trainees to act against the UAE and its symbols, and who called for "changing the regime in the UAE, or toppling it."
Al Suwaidi affirmed that it was no coincidence that the group's members who fled from the UAE are in Doha.
"Their escape was made under an emergency plan. Some of the fugitives settled there while others were provided safe passage to move to other countries, despite the expiry of their passports," he added.
Al Suwaidi referred to the Qatari national, Mahmoud Al Jeeda, who acted as the Qatari government's liaison in providing financial and moral support to the fugitives in Doha. He dismissed Al Jeeda's claims that he was tortured while serving his sentence in the UAE, adding that he received excellent treatment, and was allowed to call his family and meet with the Qatari Ambassador to the UAE.
Al Jeeda was found guilty in the secret organisation case and was sentenced to seven years imprisonment and deportation after serving his term. He was later pardoned and released, but after arriving in Doha, he alleged that he was ill-treated and was denied visits by his relatives.
