Scores jailed after UAE coup plot trial - FT.com

"More than 60 people were jailed on Tuesday for plotting to topple the United Arab Emirates’ rulers, after a contentious trial that has laid bare Abu Dhabi’s alarm over the growing regional sway of Islamist groups.
As the showdown with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood intensifies in Cairo, the UAE’s Supreme Court handed down prison terms of between three and 15 years for what prosecutors alleged was a coup effort backed by overseas Brotherhood-linked money."
