After reportedly recording Iranian rockets above the city, a 60-year-old British man was punished under Dubai’s cybercrime rules. She said that “this kind of filming puts yourself in harm’s way” and that “due process” will be adhered to.
Twenty-one individuals have been “charged together under the UAE’s cybercrime laws in connection with videos and social media posts relating to the recent missile strikes,” according to Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai. She claimed that on the British man’s phone, investigators discovered a video of an Iranian missile strike in Dubai.His family is reportedly receiving assistance from UK Foreign Office personnel.
The traveler was detained under a legislation in the United Arab Emirates that outlaws publishing or disseminating material that could damage public security, according to Detained in Dubai, which provides legal assistance in the country.
The UAE’s minister of state to the EU, Lana Nusseibeh, told the BBC that although she was “aware” of “some violations” of the law, she lacked particular information regarding the British man’s incarceration.
