What does a life sentence in UAE likely mean?

Re: 11 terror group members get life in UAE jail
For a terror offense (or plotting to go-against the government)... I suspect it very much does mean life... or maybe death.
The only thing I was confused about were those let off, or given shorter sentences.

I imagine that life in the chowki in the UAE is grim.
(chowki = chokey = prison. Excuse my Hindustani)

It is. It's near me.
The name of the mosque has been public knowledge for a while. I note that the report says the whereabouts of two of the men sentenced is "unknown" which isn't comforting. A Comoros Islands passport sounds unusual too.
I am pleased that the UAE authorities are strict when it comes to issues like this. I don't agree with any death sentances (that's a different topic though) but the no-messing attitude is good.

Wasn't the Comoros passport thing the way they skirted the issue of long time multi generational expats born in country not being able to gain citizenship? Or some such malarkey.
