What does the United Arab Emirates report establish about questioning privately?
For questioning privately in United Arab Emirates, Rage 2 Rebuild selects “‘Blasphemy’” from Humanists International’s chapter dated 18 March 2024. It describes national institutions or published conditions, not family reactions, emotions or access to an individual service. Check current facts before acting.
Country chapter updated 18 March 2024 · retrieved September 5, 2026. This chapter is more than two years old. Its assessments are not confirmation of current law or a prediction about your circumstances.
‘Blasphemy’
“Whoever produces, manufactures, promotes, sells, or offers for sale or trading of products, goods, publications, recordings, films, tapes, CDs, computer programme s, smart applications, data in the electronic field, or any industrial materials or other things that include a method of expression, and that are likely to express blasphemy, discriminate, or incite hate speech, shall be punished by imprisonment for a period of not less than (2) two years and a fine of not less than (AED 500,000) five hundred thousand UAE Dirhams and not exceeding (AED 2,000,000) two million UAE Dirhams, or by one of these two penalties.”
Freedom of expression, advocacy of humanist values
“The United Arab Emirates (UAE) invests in a strategy to paint the country as progressive, tolerant, and rights-respecting while carrying out its zero-tolerance policy toward dissent. […] Scores of activists, academics, and lawyers are serving lengthy sentences in UAE prisons following unfair trials on vague and broad charges that violate their rights to free expression and association. […] The UAE deploys some of the world’s most advanced surveillance technologies to pervasively monitor public spaces, internet activity, and even individuals’ phones and computers, in violation of their right to privacy, freedom of expression, freedom of association, and other rights.”
Discrimination against women and minorities
“It continues to criminalize vague and overbroad acts that can be considered “scandalous,” that “offend modesty and public morals,” that “incite to a life of sin, or that “tempt another openly to sinfulness by any means.” This would allow the authorities to arrest people for a wide range of behaviors, including public displays of affection, gender nonconforming expressions, and campaigns promoting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.”

Which United Arab Emirates findings should I check before acting?
Rage 2 Rebuild highlights 4 published findings for questioning privately in United Arab Emirates. Our selection connects the 18 March 2024 chapter with private inquiry, digital traces and public expression. Each quote is separate from our practical question. It identifies something to investigate, not a conclusion about your household.
Expression of core Humanist principles on democracy, freedom and human rights is brutally repressed
This is a published assessment of institutions, not an individual outcome or a current legal determination.
A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
‘Blasphemy’ is outlawed or criticism of religion (including de facto ‘blasphemy’ laws) is restricted and punishable with a prison sentence
The chapter flags a rule affecting expression or a change of religious identity. Private belief, a public statement and an institutional request can have different consequences.
A question to verify: Which current rules apply to the specific statement or request, and who is qualified to check them before it is made?
It is illegal or unrecognised to identify as an atheist or as non-religious

A question to verify: Which part of this assessment applies to the actual decision, and what still needs current local verification?
It is illegal to register an explicitly Humanist, atheist, secularist or other non-religious NGO or other human rights organization, or such groups are persecuted by authorities
The finding concerns association or organizing. It does not verify an individual support group, its privacy practices or whether it is active.
A question to verify: Who runs the group now, what information becomes visible, and what rules apply to participation?

Look beyond the name you type
A nickname does not make an account anonymous. Email addresses, profile photographs, contact syncing, browser history, downloads, notifications and people with device access can connect an activity to you. Private browsing also has limits outside the browser itself.
Separate reading, joining and publishing
Opening an informational page, creating an account, joining a group and posting a personal statement create different records and audiences. You can read before joining. You can ask about a group’s privacy rules without giving a full biography.

How did religious identity change in United Arab Emirates?
Rage 2 Rebuild’s United Arab Emirates table shows 0.3% religiously unaffiliated in 2010 and 0.3% in 2020, using Pew’s all-age population estimates. The seven categories describe religious identity, not how many individuals left religion or experienced harm. Rounded population changes cannot predict acceptance, guilt, safety or a support outcome.
| Identity | 2010 | 2020 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian | 13.2% | 14.3% | +1.1 pp |
| Muslim | 75.1% | 72.9% | -2.2 pp |
| Religiously unaffiliated | 0.3% | 0.3% | 0.0 pp |
| Buddhist | 0.2% | 0.2% | 0.0 pp |
| Hindu | 10.8% | 11.8% | +1.0 pp |
| Jewish | Less than 0.1% | Less than 0.1% | Not calculated |
| Other religions | 0.4% | 0.5% | +0.1 pp |
“Other religions” combines traditions that cannot be analyzed separately here. A “less than” input stays an inequality; a change involving it is not calculated. Rounding and demographic processes matter. Nationality does not establish anyone’s beliefs.
