A federal appeals court in Abu Dhabi has sentenced three men to death for the kidnapping and murder of Chabad emissary Zvi Kogan last year, the country’s public prosecutor said Monday.
A fourth accomplice was sentenced to life in prison, followed by deportation upon completion of his term.
The ruling confirms earlier reports of the death sentences. The UAE’s attorney general said the country remains committed to protecting residents of all religions and ethnicities under the rule of law.
