UAE Plotters jailed
The defendants are said to be members of al-Islah, an Emirati-based Islamist group linked to the Muslim Brotherhood.
They were accused of setting up an organisation "seeking to oppose the basic principles of the UAE system of governance and to seize power".
The 94 defendants were accused of trying to seize power in the Emirates. The Federal Supreme Court jailed 56 of the 94 for between seven and 10 years, reports said.
Eight defendants no longer in the country were sentenced to 15 years.
