Instances of stoning
[edit]The initial sentence of the article states that in the UAE "executions are carried through either a firing squad, hanging, or stoning."
However none of the linked sources contain information about an individual ever being stoned to death. There is one link that relates to an initial conviction, but it suggests it will be appealed (given the lack of future coverage it may be assumed she was). The UAE normally has a lengthy appeals process around death penalties, and must finally be approved by the UAE president, (If I remember correctly).
Anyhow, if there is no source material supporting that executions have been carried out by stoning in recent years (e.g. whether going back to c. 2000, or 1971), suggest that this sentence be rewritten to clarify between methods of execution that are known to have been used, and methods which may be in the statute but which are not in practice employed.

Homosexuality
[edit]It does not provide the death penalty under UAE law. Please remove the text, along with the sources as they are basically inaccurate. ElephantMario (talk) 14:54, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
