Mohammed Hamdan, brother of American citizen Naji Hamdan , walks out of the Federal Supreme Court after his brother’s trial in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Monday Oct. 12, 2009. The United Arab Emirates’ highest court convicted Naji to 18 months in prison on terrorism-related charges amid claims that torture was used to extract a confession. Hamdan should be freed soon because the sentence counts time served and he was detained last year. Hamdan, an American of Lebanese origin, faced three terrorism-related charges, including having ties with an al-Qaida group in Iraq. The court’s chief justice, Khalifa al-Muhairi, gave no details on his decision such as whether the 43-year-old was convicted of all three charges.(AP Photo/Kamran Jebreili)
