The false statement about the government and society of the United Arab Emirates is:

A. The law includes the presumption of innocence and the freedom of speech and religion.

While the UAE has legal frameworks, the reality of freedom of speech and certain religious practices can be quite restricted, which makes statement A misleading. The other statements are more aligned with the structure and goals of the UAE's government and society.
