Khoury v Cavalli, Al Habtoor et al.

“It is extremely disturbing that people are prosecuted in the UAE for far lesser offences; such as US citizen Jordan Bradford who was detained over a private and less offensive WhatsApp text messages to his ex wife; but police won’t even investigate serious abusive and threatening voice recordings from Cavalli. This selective enforcement of the law, highlights just how prejudiced the UAE is against Westerners, how discriminatory and how open to influence, coercion and corruption, the UAE’s law enforcers are. This predictably volatile environment makes the country extremely dangerous to investors, expats and tourists,” commented Radha Stirling, CEO of Detained in Dubai.
