Protesters at the United Nations' COP28 climate summit gathered on Saturday to advocate for the release of imprisoned human rights activists in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), both past and current hosts of the negotiations.

The demonstration, organized by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, took place within the UN-administered Blue Zone for the summit, highlighting an unprecedented allowance for such protests within the UAE.
