Mansoor, jailed for 10 years in 2018 for criticizing the government on social media, began a hunger strike on March 17, but fellow campaigners said this week he had ended it. They say his family has not been able to visit regularly to check on his health or strike status. The WAM report, citing a statement from the UAE’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva, dismissed the U.N. claims as “false and unsubstantiated” and aimed at “distorting and falsifying facts.”

“Mansour was twice visited by his family in April 2019 and his family is fully aware of his medical condition,” it added.
