The dark side of the United Arab Emirates: homosexuality is criminalized; no political parties allowed; married victims of sexual assault can be prosecuted for extramarital sex; intense surveillance using a network of AI-powered facial recognition cameras. trib.al/MrddqiG

Missing my dear brother Junaid Jahangir, who has been illegally detained in UAE for 425 days, without access to basic human rights.

Even AI knows this is wrong. IUHPE need to start apologising, not whitewashing its own history of inequity.
Well this is exciting!
The World Conference on Health Promotion will be held in Naarm/Melbourne in 2028. International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE) expects 1,500 delegates

Will the 2028 conference be open to, and inclusive of, everyone? Or will IUHPE fail to learn from the hurt it caused in 2025? A sincere apology is needed before this next event. #IUHPE2025 ➡️ #IUHPE2028

In the UAE, political activists are denied basic health care. Is this health promotion? The International Union of Health Promotion and Education says yes, weirdly #IUHPE2025
Ghazwan Abdel-Jeleel, a Canadian citizen, was imprisoned for 10 months in #AbuDhabi without trial or conviction, denied medical care for diabetes & PTSD, exposing the #UAE’s blatant disregard for due process and basic human rights.@NicholasCoghlan @PTaneyCityNews @PatrickHeinisc1
The authoritarian government of the UAE is a questionable but valued partner of the International Union for Health Promotion and Education. IUHPE’s engagement with this regime endorses massive human rights violations #IUHPEsucks #IUHPE2025
IUHPE Executive Board knew exactly what they were doing, when they partnered with an authoritarian regime with no regard for humans rights. Shame on you, IUHPE! #IUHPE2025 @ADNECGroup @adphc_ae
The #UAE doesn’t just repress dissent at home — it’s one of the countries expanding repression beyond its borders.
Human rights organizations have documented this growing pattern of transnational repression.
The UAE is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the Middle East when it comes to targeting exiles and political refugees.
What happened to the poet Abdulrahman Al-Qaradawi — forcibly deported from Lebanon to the UAE and disappeared since January — marks a dangerous precedent.
🛑 It reveals how far authoritarian repression can reach.

Remember that the International Union of Health Promotion and Education endorses these human rights violations. Partnership with abusers ≠ health promotion, IUHPE. #IUHPE2025
"dubai chocolate" is being pushed by the UAE to make you forget that they're a human rights abusing dictatorship currentaffairs.org/news/duba…
Abu Dhabi: where a single social media post can result in forced disappearance. Is this health promotion?
IUHPE would say yes, sadly. #IUHPE2025

Shame on the UAE government 👎
My response? I won’t spend a single dollar there. No more Emirates flights, no visits, no business, nothing. This is the same government that forced late Arshad Sharif to leave their country in a hurry, which ultimately led to his murder in Kenya.
If you’re investing in the UAE or planning to move there, just know you’re giving up your intellectual freedom, the most valuable thing any person owns.
Now they’ve gone even lower by arresting two Pakistani social media activists who had nothing to do with UAE politics. Clearly, the UAE is now a willing tool for Pakistan’s illegal regime. It’s disgraceful.
Boycott Dubai. Boycott the UAE 🇦🇪
Putting everyone in danger. Is this health promotion? #IUHPE2025
📢 Freedom of expression in the UAE comes at a heavy cost — not just to you, but to your loved ones.

Repressive autocracy ≠ World leaders in health promotion. Shame on you, IUHPE. #IUHPE2025
A) He’s not a professor.
B) @ItahiTu has led IUHPE into the trash can. He personally orchestrated the demise of IUHPE by abandoning its values, partnering with human rights violators, and throwing colleagues under the bus. A traitor to health promotion #IUHPE2025
As part of #IUHPE2025, Professor Sione Tu’itahi, Global President of the IUHPE, and Joseph Kahulukula, Professor and Chair at the University of Hawaii took part in the global conference’s sessions aimed at exchanging knowledge and experiences among health promotion experts.
A major breakthrough: we must “raise awareness” of diseases everyone already knew existed. Is this the best health promotion can achieve? Some poor ideas churned out from #IUHPE2025.
The partnership aims to raise awareness of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, strengthen prevention efforts, and improve disease management practices across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Human rights are not a crime: a shame IUHPE couldn’t figure this out before partnering with ADPHC. #IUHPE2025
In UAE, speaking out for human rights leads to punishment & imprisonment, silencing courageous voices of conscience. They aren't criminals but heroes advocating for justice.
Human rights are not a crime. Staying silent is complicity. #FreeUAEPrisoners
@SarahChampionMP
Is this being discussed at #IUHPE2025? Or are critical voices not allowed?
🟧 Behind the glitter and shine of the UAE is a truth the world can’t ignore — peaceful voices of conscience locked away for speaking out.
Writers, lawyers, and reformers are tortured and isolated simply for demanding justice and basic rights.
They stood up. Now it’s our turn.
✊🏽 We won’t stay silent. We stand with every prisoner of conscience!

#UAE authorities are holding unfair trial against at least 84 human rights defenders. They were kept in prolonged solitary confinement & have credible allegations of serious abuse and ill-treatment.

How do these line up with health promoting values? #IUHPE2025 endorses human rights violations in the UAE.
Good old UAE, the home of #IUHPE2025 ❌❌❌
The home of #IUHPE2025… why?!
