ABU DHABI 25 April 2017: The State Security Chamber of the Federal Supreme Court has sentenced an Emirati citizen identified as K.A.M to 10 years in prison for joining the Daesh terrorist organisation.

The court also ordered the 21-year-old to be placed under observation after serving his jail term.

The Abu Dhabi Court of Appeals sentenced him to one year in jail, but the State Security Prosecutor challenged the verdict and referred the case to the apex court, which handed down the current judgment.
