    Tourists warned of UAE drug laws
    Dubai
    Dubai is popular among tourists and businesses
    Travellers to the United Arab Emirates are being warned about its severe drug laws which have seen dozens detained for apparently minor offences.

    Fair Trials International said arrests were being made over tiny quantities of drugs and over-the-counter medicines.

    British tourist Keith Brown was sentenced to four years in prison after Dubai customs officers found a 0.003g trace of cannabis stuck to his shoe.

    Fair Trials, a legal charity, said it has seen a steep rise in such cases.

    Golden beaches

    Possession of painkillers like codeine and some cold and flu medication could result in a mandatory four-year prison sentence, Fair Trials International said.

    In one of the most extreme cases, it reported a man being held after poppy seeds from a bread roll were found on his clothes.



    Keith Brown, 43, Middlesex: Four-year jail term for possession of 0.003g of cannabis
    Robert Dalton, 25, Kent: On trial for alleged possession of 0.03g of cannabis
    20-year-old, West Yorkshire: On trial for alleged possession of 0.02g of cannabis
    Tracy Wilkinson, 45, West Sussex: Held in custody for eight weeks for possession of codeine before release
    Swiss national: Four-year jail term after poppy seeds found on his clothes


    ****************

    It seams muslim countries are striking back, as we arrest muslims on terroist charges worldwide in our countries, they are arresting our national for possesion of poppy seads from a bread roll eaten at heathrow before arriving in dubai, or for having dirt from a football boot in our bags as they class this as canabis now, or for treading on a residue of canabbis from a passing junkie.

    it seams its all payback we arrest them, so they arrest us on such ludicrous charges its unreal, meanwhile our embassies keep mum because we are all breast feeding there oil.

    painkillers, prescription meds, no doubt supicion looking smarties or M&M's cane be classed as possesion or class 1 drugs as they persecute infidels, i wonder are there national or fellow muslims being jailed for painkiller or having dirt in there bags or shoes, or for the misfortune of having eaten a dangerous heathrow bread roll with seads on it, or a drug class 1 bun as it is known in dubai.

    The barbaric human rights of these oil countries need to be brought to light by our embassies we should not have to wait for leaked stories from family members.

    4 year is far too lenient. 10 years on a treadmill plus daily floggings is what they deserve. The world is going soft on crimnals.

    My guess is there new since 9-11, & they only apply to non muslims, i remember a case when a bomb went off near some american gi's in one of these arab oil states saudi or dubai, the response of there government was to arrest 5 uk expat nationals working on there oil fields, they prosecuted them & found them guilty (kangaroo court) meanwhile our pussy foreign office done a below the table release for them 2 months later on some pretence of the kings goodwill where he release criminals every year.

    As muslim terroists were blowiing up any american gi they could find in the middle east 5 years ago, i fail to see why they would want to arrest five 50 fifty year old uk farts, whose only contact with explosives in the life was a firework as a child, that is why there are som many terroists in there countries they deny reality, they blame infidels for everthing, they deny they have a terroist problem.

    the legal system in all muslim countries needs to be looked at, it is a serious problem any western natinal can be jailed for nothing with little help from there embassy, yet everytime a muslim is arrested in the uk, every muslim organisation is claiming harrasement.
    What i want to know is when are we going to have a cathloic or buddist prayer room at airports any airport worldwide, every airport i have visited worldwide i see a muslim prayer room, what is islam the only religon in the world, are all airport architects muslim, or is there holy grail blueprint for all airport design that incudes tha mandatory muslim prayer room?
    Now thats being biased but they never mention all these perks just this harrasment because there the brother or a friend of a terroist.
     
  11. These nations have always employed the double standard towards Emperialism views of the West.
    They sell heroin and are the largest producers of poppies in the World.

    And, when the West tries and control the trade via occupation, they justify their standards.
    Best, to avoid, as even falling into the wrong perspective can get you prosecuted.

    Especially, since failing at World Destruction, as so many have these days...you know...

    Yeah the have the right to torture uk citizens on trumped up terroist charges, all because my government does not want to jeopardise billions of dollars of miltary contracts with these loonies.

    That stinks, there is no fair trial in muslim countries, whether its the teddy bear teacher, or bread bun druggy or the imaginery 5 uk geriatics who suddenly drop there oil overalls & buy explosives from a imaginery shop selling exposives at there fenced in expat compund & try to kill american gi's, people they have never met in there entire life, have no motive to attack, & probably never came with in contact with them ever.

    I believe all countries are born through fair laws, & law & order the middle east & africa & most if not all muslim countries are still operating under wild west laws, hence the reason all there countries are fucked up from top to bottom, with resentment & corruption.

    You know i fail to see why???

    the obama thread was closed?

    The mod or oldy says racism, for what saying america is going to vote for there 1st black prez, probable fact, or for dare mentioning the word black???????

    How is it we can mention yellow people, white people, arabic looking people until we are blue in the face, but dare mention the word black!!!!
    and you get that knee jerk politically correct response, i strongly leieve the word black should be made illegal to speak that way it wont be mentioned in forums anymore.

    Or was it because i said all black african leaders in africa have been a joke, so why should expect another one in america to be different, hey i'm open to one mod saying hey what about this leader in africa, you could say mandela great guy for black pr, i love the guy one of my all time heroe's along with churchill, however he did nothing for the african economy & corruption along with his wife were rampant.

    Or was it because i question the american brains of voting in a black prez with a muslim family when america is such a crisis time, any idiot with a iq in single figures can forsee absolute chaos in america if he gets in, there are more redknecks in america than the whole world put together, the only reason conan powell never ran was because his wife said he would be shot, i dont think he would have he was very intelligent & he was liked by all, plus he earned his chance through military past & service to the government, obama has not & on top of that he has a muslim family, america has had 7 years of fighting muslims, do they honestly believe the rednecks are going to tolerate obama?

    None of its racism it is pure fact, & a intelligent way of looking down the road ahead, what spider if the rednecks shoot obama dont you see race riots in los angeles like never before????
    He has nearly all the black vote that buys alot of love, a attack on him will take the roof of america there will be riots all over america, any idiot just out of school can see that.

    Black, white, they are words no more, they are not a PC tool to hit people with, after 7 years of bush splitting the country up, america needs a prez who can bring the whole country together.

    How about a born in america japanese prez in america, they have a good history in business & the economy, i stated the facts there have been no black leader anywhere throughout history who has brought economic sucess to there country, please show me a example spider to prove me wrong.
    Look at nigeria rich in oil yet the entire country is starving, money in these countries money stays with whatever bunch of corrupt people, who are running the country there, money never trickles down to the masses, the only trickles come from the west.

    African world leaders have publicy stated they dont want aid with strings, that meaning they dont want the west to follow the money trail to switzerland, there idea is hand over billion and trust us to build schools etc, any idiot can see africa is a joke, & it is a joke because of terrible leadership, spider whatam i a pc tortoise who ignores the bloody obvious & then start blaming it all on there colonial masters.

    Sure its easy to do that, & i could blame hitler for bankrupting the uk, did you know 2 years ago the uk just stopped paying off there debt to america for world war 2's loan, our last installment was a 100 million dollars.
    Unlike africa we still been paying for our attempted colonial masters germany trying to invade us, unlike africa spider we dont rant & rave over a 60 year past, intead we got ourselves out of it through good leadership, & saying no to corrupt leaders.

    So spider dont close threads for stating the obvious that is just stupid, being honest is not racism, ignoring reality helps no one.

    Hey spider obama was the only primary canditate given secret service protection, as reported on numerous news channels, why is that??

    Could it be they have the forsight to know that as was the case with other prominent black leaders in america be they luther king or others, america has a history of shooting them.

    Obama is a tinderbox waiting to happen hence his secret service protection, is america ready for more race riots if he is shot?

    Are all of you going to say gee whiz you know we should of guessed this was going to happen, you know here we are the gun toting capitle of the world with a history of presedential assanation attempts kennedy, lincon, reagan i am sure there is many i have missed, by the way the uk has none, & here we are with 11 guns for every man, woman & child in circulation in america going to vote in a black prez, even though we have more gun toting rednecks than anywhere else, here we are all going to vote in obama, i mean its like your all setting him up to be shot.
    Conan powell saw it, his wife to, hence he did not run, yet your all so keen to get this man killed, or do you honestly believe america has grown up now to move beyound racism, christ its only 30 odd years since a black man could sit where he wanted on a bus, its only 12 years since the los angeles riots.
    America is not ready for obama, the country has along way to go the equal rights road & dragging your arses out of your racist pasts, & as long as they are giving out shot guns for opening up bank accounts as michael moore showed once, & selling guns in sweet shops there will never be a black prez safe there.

    It's my governmnent too, as I choose to live in the UK as opposed to Holy Ireland.

    Have you forgotten how BLair stopped an enquiry into alleged fraud between a British company and some Saudis. The Saudis blackmailed him ...large contract at stake........... and Blair caved in. He said the enquiry would serve no useful purpose.

    I was in Saudi Arabia before 9/11. I saw three men being beheaded for carrying drugs while two Saudis received two-three year jail sentences for possession. I doubt 9/11 has anything to do with it. I believe they were impressed by Singapore's rulings in this regard (could be mistaken, but I think Singapore has the highest rate of execution for drug traffic*) and as usual added their own little trimmings.

    Regardless, the warnings are written in HUGE letters at the embassy and translation centers. In the local language. Here is one in urdu in Punjab

    you give evidence of saudis being killed for carrying drugs, before 9-11, my point is westerners are being prosecuted on trumped up charges, for possession of bun seeds, if this was illegal every bakery in the western world would be closed and the baker arrested, or stepping on 000.13 of canabbis, since when is it illegal to step on things, they might as well make it illegal to walk, since when is dirt defined as cannabis.

    I believe all these ridiculous charges relate to retaliation or hatred towards the west, a few or many fanatics in the police force or customs or judiciary who are allowed to whatever they wish to westerners arrest, jail, torture, with no objection from foreign embassies, when the law has no checks, no one to answer to, you have a mob of criminals, the entire legal system in the middle east is one big joke.

    When you have a wealthy and powerful king or government, the legal system in any country is a joke.
    Singapore has a small population. I think the statistics don't reflect the reality there.

    There are no trials in the middle east only confessions beated out of anyone they find walking the streets, as was the case with the 5 uk expats for there bombing of american premises a couple of year backs, there case was a kangaroo court of law, there was no motive why uk nationals geriatics at that would want to attack americans with bombs, & just where on earth would they have access to the bombs, what me being a uk national i can walk into any firearms premises in the middle east & say hey can you wrap up 20kg of semtex, oh and a couple of balistic missiles too, there was no case no motive, no access to bombs, & yet these geriatics were all beaten until they signed written confessions, and once again the locals in another oil state were reassured that they dont have home grown terroists only uk ones.

    How can a country ever be void of corruption or gain respect of the people when there is no due process of the law, it has been proven worldwide that with out a proper legal system in place, the country will be a failure, the one exception is singapore, luckily there they have a ruling party the P.A.P who actually care about there people, but i have no doubt there are many hundreds in singapore jails for crimes they did not commit, example trying to criticise the ruling party, or other such nonsense.

    Africa & the middle east will always be failed countries until they have the rule of law in place, one law for all, & all prosecuted under it, with a right to legal representation, and all sexes equal under the law, something they cant seem to grasp.
