FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Websites of the National and 7 Days newspapers reported that the two men were
found guilty by an Abu Dhabi criminal court. They were identified as a
21-year-old Briton and a 19-year-old Syrian.
Initial court verdicts are typically subject to appeal in the Emirates, a
seven-state federation that includes the cosmopolitan commercial hub of
Dubai and the more conservative oil-rich capital, Abu Dhabi.
It is not unusual for the emirates’ rulers to pardon convicted criminals or
lighten their sentences.
Although the country is known for soaring skyscrapers and glitzy shopping
malls, its legal system is based heavily on traditional values that frown
upon drug use and indecent behaviour.
Besides drug convictions, foreigners in recent years have been jailed or
deported for kissing in public, sending racy text messages and giving a
fellow driver a raised middle finger. In 2008, two Britons accused of having
sex on the beach were sentenced to three months in jail, though their
sentences were later suspended.
Executions are relatively rare in the UAE but do occasionally take place.
In February 2011, a man convicted of raping and killing a 4-year-old boy in a
mosque bathroom was executed by firing squad in Dubai. It was the first time
in three years the UAE had put a prisoner to death.
