DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United Arab Emirates’ top court convicted a Qatari doctor and sentenced him to seven years in prison on Monday in the latest move by the Gulf federation against the Muslim Brotherhood and its perceived Islamist allies.

The Federal Supreme Court in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi found Mahmoud al-Jaidah guilty of charges linked to cooperating with an illegal clandestine organization that aimed to overthrow the government, according to state news agency WAM. He will be deported after serving his sentence.
