My best friend is being held since two weeks+ over lint in his pockets they claim to be cannabis. He was held in isolation until he signed a paper in arabic which they wouldn't translate for him. After that they said he was going to be deported but have just dumped him in prison without any further information.
The worst case of a holiday disaster would have to be Schapelle Corby's injustice case, she was wrongfully convicted for something she did not do, she was just going to have a two week holiday in Bali and that was 5 yeas a go,she has been locked up in a cell since the day she got there, she was sentenced to twenty years...please help her look at her utube videos.
Thanks YTC - my friend has recently had all charges dropped and has been flown home - Dubai authorities seemed to see sense at the same time as when the BBC arrived in Dubai to report on the general problem of these kind of detentions.
I forgot to mention that a real holiday disaster is what happened to Schapelle Corby in Bali. Am sure that you heard about hear story. A pretty young woman sentenced to 20 years in jail... this was the real holiday disaster.
This info is not really accurate. i was searched once in Dubai because i had a long hair. they expected to find some drugs, but in fact they didn't find anything; so they le me go. Yes, I agree that the legal system there is f-----. But this man is an adult and am sure he knew what he was doing and where he was going... I am sure he will be freed soon if he has a European Passport.
Thanks for that - good to know they don't arrest EVERYONE. My friend absolutely knew about Dubai's strict laws ( e.g. he does not use, but he knew about purging your body a week before you visit ) The point is there is nothing he or ANYONE can do to avoid being the target of this kind of unjust detainment. He has now been held without charge for more than a month - that is unacceptable , and Khalidfa, you do him and other innocent people in his situation no service by defending what's happened
Man, am not defending dubai. I've had enough trouble with the law here. Once, I was called by a criminal investgation department officer. and when i went there, (to the police station,) they wanted to detain me for 12 hours until the new shift arrives in the morning, since the man who sued me refused do drop the charges against me. guess why? for sending an sms message to a pimp in which i asked him "for how much his wife goes out for a full night". But my lawyer came and managed to get me out.
why will he be freed soon IF HE HAS A EUROPEAN PASSPORT? what would happen if he holds passport from some 'less fortunate'continet??? oh jesus - i just hate this racial profiling bursting at the seams of these so called gulf countries
Why are you accusing me of being a racist? this has nothing to do with racism. Dubai fears Europeans just because they are controlling its economy. I am just stating the facts here.
was once a broadminded free and easy do-gooder, now i'm very very careful, People stay far away from lands of islam, you will get used and abused,its fucking savage. boycott dubai and slavemasters of dubai whatever the creed.
My friend has been moved to Al Wathba Central Prison STILL WITH NO CHARGE. We are collecting donations for his legal defence fees via PayPal, please read more at the FREEDIZ website. Many thanks.
One man has even been jailed for possession of three poppy seeds left over from a bread roll he ate at Heathrow Airport. Painkiller codeine is also banned.
A speck of cannabis weighing 0.003g - invisible to the naked eye and smaller than a grain of sugar was found on the tread of one person's shoe. He was sent to prison to serve four years.

Cat has precisely fuck all to do with Big Brother but it's interesting to see how Endemol have turned his ordeal into free publicity for themselves.
