[UAE] Two get life term for possessing marijuana
    #18546879 - 07/12/13 12:51 AM (10 years, 10 months ago)

A student and a restaurant manager have each been sentenced to life in prison for possessing marijuana which they intended to sell.

The 23-year-old Australian student, F.B., and the 34-year-old British manager, M.A., were arrested in December last year on the charge of possessing marijuana for trafficking.

A Singaporean company manager, A.R., 28, has been sentenced to five years in prison in the same case and ordered to pay a fine of Dh20,000 for facilitating the use of drugs by F.B. The Court of First Instance ordered that all of them be deported after serving their time in prison.

According to prosecution records, 4.1 grams of marijuana were seized from F.B. which he possessed for selling and 0.5 gram which he possessed for his own personal use. The urine sample of all defendants contained traces of hashish as per the Crime Lab reports.

A police major in the Anti-Narcotics Department of the Dubai Police said they received reliable information that F.B. was about to sell a quantity of drugs for Dh2,000 to one of their informants in Al Rafaa area.

F.B. was arrested around 11.15pm on December 11 last year after he sold the drugs to the police informant in a parking lot near a hotel apartment building in Al Rafaa. He voluntarily admitted that he sold it for Dh2,000.

He told the police that he got the drugs from the other two defendants. The police raided their flat around 1.30am on December 12.

When the police asked A.R. from where he got the drugs, M.A. intervened and said he smuggled it when he entered the UAE. Two quantities of marijuana weighing one gram and 0.5 gram were seized from A.R. and M.A. The verdict can be appealed within 15 days.

I've been to Dubai, It is very beautiful but I didn't know they had such strict laws. I was in Dubai for a bit on my way to Kenya Africa. Strange that one could be considered such a hardened criminal for just a small amount of marijuana. Sad.

Sounds like they were dealing hash or hash oil.  Still a small amount for such a sentence.

They were in possession of Cannabis buds, not hash or hash oil.

They were most likely forced to admit selling the pot.

I have changed planes in Dubai.  Not a fun experience.  Apparently the UAE cops can grab you out of the airport Terminal and demand you give a urine or blood sample which they will take by force if they want to.  If any drugs, they deem illegal, are in your system your charged with "possession".

Soooooo..... Wait.... What?


I think someone needs to explain to the govt. of Dubai exactly what marijuana is, and what it does.


Cause then they'd let that dude go. And they'd be pissed at the UN for lying to them about "dangerous" drugs.

They set up a sting for a couple grams of weed? (Hash at best)

....I guess they had nothing else to do that day?


You'd think they would take the cash used to imprison these two men for life, as well as the cash from the cost of the sting, and maybe try to improve their shitty ass third world rathole.

But then the people with the money don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves and they are already filthy fucking rich so... Yeah shitty world. All the more reason to never visit ragheaded countries.

The laws are for religious reasons I believe.

Muslims traditionally take a very lenient view on Marijuana/Hash.....

Bombing oneself is extreme as well.

Even if I didn't have drugs in my system I'd avoid a place like that on principle and for weariness of whatever other bullshit 'laws' they have

I agree, it can't be true. If anything it would happen once and someone would flip the fuck out and it would be an international incident
