                               RESOLUTION


 
  Calling on the United Arab Emirates to immediately end any form of 
 human rights violations against political prisoners and prisoners of 
                  free speech, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) calls on the United Arab Emirates to immediately end 
        any form of human rights violations, such as torture, the 
        denial of access to health care, or the absence of fair trials, 
        committed against political prisoners or individuals imprisoned 
        for exercising their right to freedom of speech;
            (2) calls for the immediate closure, with or without the 
        prior withdrawal of forces of the United Arab Emirates from 
        Yemen, of any ``secret'' jail under the control of the United 
        Arab Emirates in Yemen; and
            (3) expresses the sense of the House of Representatives 
        that any individual, including any member of the armed 
        services, of the United Arab Emirates involved in war crimes 
        against prisoners or torture should be appropriately prosecuted 
        by that country.
